Description

"Hamman delves deeply and widely to provide wise counsel to help churches, pastors, and soon-to-be-pastors understand key 'capacities' to develop for sustainable and life-giving ministry."--Jul Medenblik, President, Calvin Theological Seminary

Becoming a Pastor should be required reading for:

All of us who nurture intergenerational communities and ministries
All who are following God's call into a vocation of ministry, whatever form it may take
Anyone in ministry at any time in ministry.

This is the revised and updated edition of a best-selling leadership and ministry guide. Whether you're a pastor or church leader, says Hamman, you're called to do the following for yourself: develop a deeper sense of inner security; nurture your imagination; embrace your dark side; become aware of your emotions; see others as they really are; and engage in life with a sense of playfulness. Hamman equips you to do all of this and more. Get ready for a transformation in your personal ministry and in your relationship with God--and become the best pastor you can be!
