The Proper Care and Feeding of Shepherds: 10 Conversations about Spiritual and Emotional Health for Pastors

Pastors serve as shepherds, consistently caring for sheep, but who cares for them? How do they find time to rest and seek healing with the constant needs of their church?

Adam Mason has been counseling pastors for decades, having a front row seat to the deep challenges and pains that come with leadership of a local body of believers. He’s seen over and over again that healthy pastors are the best pastors, but that health truly takes time and introspection in a world of constantly populating to do lists and responsibilities. We all want our pastors to flourish, and in this book, Adam seeks to give pastors the tools to develop healthy ideas around the conversations and struggles he most often hears in the counseling room.

Valuable to the pastors and those seeking to serve them well, this book provides the groundwork for emotion and spiritual health that will carry them for a long life of service.
