This is a fantastic discussion of Jesus as the Chief Shepherd, and how we, as undershepherds, can share the life of Christ with the people we're called to serve!

I love LibraryThing: I had forgotten about this one. It's one of the better guides to the reality of pastoral ministry that I've read. I mean, guides to the junk and crap and heart-wrenching sorrowful frustration that can cause us to become angry, mechanical, compassionless pricks in our roles as God's undershepherds. I was scanning through this one looking at what I'd highlighted when I read it, and several pieces jumped out and bit me on the behind. Gotta go reread this one.
