Top choice for pastors
Though not a pastor I found this book very helpful and plan to pass it on to my pastor. Its general helpfulness is that so much that goes into the care of souls depends on Christian character. The early church fathers are full of wisdom for living the Christian life. By harnessing these truths and deepening their own walk with the Lord pastors can help themselves and their flock. There is an excellent list of primary and secondary sources at the end to further direct your study depending on what is most needful for your particular needs. By all means if you pastor take time to read this and then begin that deeper study.
For Pastors
Pastors, this is a MUST BUY. So stop being cheap and buy the book. It’s written for you, and is very principled in what a pastor should be, explaining through historical figures. - enjoy.
Breadcrumb trail of wisdom from the Fathers
The church fathers can feel distant and intimidating. This book gives us a breadcrumb trail to follow so we don't get lost along the way.Lots of practical, soul-nourishing wisdom on shepherding. My biggest takeaway is the suggested reading - I want to dive deeper into the lives and writings of the fathers!
Excellent review of Soul Care by the Shepherds of the Church
These two men have given us a treasure of the materials and writings of several church fathers that strips away 21st Century "busy-ness" and deals with our role in the care of souls. It reflects the statement by the late Eugene Peterson, "How can I lead people into a quiet place beside still waters if I am in perpetual motion?" The books is divided into the three main ways we care for souls and they brings forth the teachings and example of great church Fathers who exemplify this soul care.
Insightful, but relies too heavily on secondary sources
If I want to learn the art of pastoral ministry from the church fathers, I would expect the actual writings of the church fathers to be prominently featured. However, what this book gives the reader is some primary citation (in English translation) with a lot of secondary summarization and characterization. Instead of reading what the church fathers actually wrote about the topic, we learn what the authors and other patristic scholars think about what the church fathers wrote.Consequently, I found this resource insightful but not exactly as advertised.
