The Pastor's Soul: The Call and Care of an Undershepherd
11.99
From the foreword by David Murray: "'The minister’s soul is the soul of his ministry.' I can’t remember where I first heard this saying, but I’ve never been able to forget it. And, having read this book, I never want to forget it. In these pages, Jim Savastio and Brian Croft establish the foundation of all faithful and fruitful ministry—the pastor’s soul.
The Pastor's Ministry Biblical Priorities for Faithful Shepherds
16.99
Every pastor struggles with demands for his time, and how to determine priorities in ministry. Some choose to respond to the most urgent needs, while others seek a more balanced and intentional approach. But what determines these priorities? Where should a busy pastor look for wisdom in making decisions? In the Pastor's Ministry, pastor and author Brian Croft looks to the Scriptures to determine the top ten priorities for a faithful pastoral ministry.
The Pastor's Family Shepherding Your Family through the Challenges of Pastoral Ministry

Brian and Cara Croft identify the unique challenges that pastors face as husbands and fathers.
