Memoirs of an Ordinary Pastor

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Scores of books assure us—ordinary us—that we were meant to be extraordinary or to accomplish extraordinary things for God. Well, thank God, this small book by Don Carson is not one of them. Recounting part of his father’s ordinary life and ministry, and reflecting upon it in his characteristic gospel-centered, lucid way, Don strikes at the heart of what’s wrong with us when we forget that, as servants, we were meant to live ordinarily under the gospel of grace. Read this book. You will be deeply encouraged in your life and ministry. You might also stand corrected about your take on true success. Perhaps you will even end up praying you’ll be deemed as ordinary as Tom Carson was.”
