I enjoyed reading Mondays
with My Old Pastor by José Luis Navajo. I found the book to be inspiring. The book reveals intimate moments between the
writer and his aging/dying pastor during his weekly visits. The baton is being passed from one “man of
God” to another. I believe we need to
place a more deliberate focus on the wisdom of our elders. This book beautifully portrays that concept
and the great commission found in Matthew 28 ... to go and make Disciples of all nations.
The reader will enjoy the many stories told by the old
pastor. These stories feel much like the
parables found in the New Testament that Jesus told. One specific lessons deals with writing the
names of those who have offended you down so you can pray specifically for “your
enemies”. This type of forgiveness can
change the world.
I work in a large Methodist church. I found that many of the stories told and
lessons learned apply to all who desire to serve God. This book is not just useful to inspire local
pastors who might be discouraged. It is
also a challenge to all of us to be Disciples of God.
I received this book
free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers
program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have
expressed are my own.
