{"product_id":"9781512731750","title":"Called to Pastor: The Gift of the Pastorate","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Ephesians, Paul said, \"And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers\" (Eph. 4:11). From this verse we understand that being a pastor and teacher is a gift from God. Becoming a pastor is not done when a person so desires, but when he is given the \"Gift of the Pastorate.\" This book is being written especially for those who are being called into the pastorate. I hope that this book will benefit young pastors, or even experienced pastors, who may not have had the benefit of a wise counselor. The basic purpose of the book is to explain the calling, preparation, and role of a pastor. I also think that this book could help church members understand the role of a pastor and what being a pastor entails.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WestBow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46367117639921,"sku":"9781512731750","price":30.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781512731750_p0.jpg?v=1765174019","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781512731750","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
