How do you deal with the unspoken, yet continuing dilemmas of your ministry? - Are you seen as a good luck charm?
- Are you put on a pedestal of undue adoration?
- Are you discouraged in evangelism and stewardship efforts?

Pastoral Pitfalls is an excellent tool to help you deal with these and similar problems. It is a resource to be used in small group discussions, in professional retreat centers, and as a practical pastoral instruction guide in seminary classes.

Each chapter offers a brief short story, which deals with a daily pastoral dilemma. A study guide concludes each chapter. The guide assists you to think more deeply about the chapter’s concern. Questions, meditations, and prayer focus are built into each study guide.
