Shepherding is a dangerous profession, and no one knows that better than pastors. Drawing from personal encounters with actual shepherds in Israel and years of ministry, Bishop T.D. Jakes and Stanley Miller provide unique insights into the hazards faced by pastors today. As a Christian leader, are you: ? Bleeding from the wounds inflicted by others? ? Disappointed by the actions of God's people? ? Embarrased by past mistakes? ? Desperate for a breakthrough in your life and ministry? With amazing perception, the authors pull back the bandages and uncover the open, bleeding wounds common among those shepherding God's flock. Using the skills of spiritual surgeons, they precisely cut to the heart of the problem and tenderly apply the cure.
