I found this book to be a delightful surprise! This is a book about a small town church pastor in the Quaker/Friends tradition who has returned to his hometown (Harmony) to serve his home church. He is fallible and human, but he is also humorous and very faithful.
I was given this book as a gift (I am always a little curious about what - if any - message is intended by being given a book), and I don't know exactly what I expected. What I found however was a very sweet book, that had hilarious insights about life as a church pastor, and some poignant moments about the depth of purpose and meaning of being a church pastor. The depth of insight added a wonderful layer to go with the moments of levity.
My life has always been about healing and compassion, from my career as a physical therapist to now being a United Methodist pastor and professional coach. I see myself as a kind of "Adventure Guide" that isn't solely worried about the end destination but is instead focused on passionately, powerfully and playfully leading people to pay attention to where they are on their journey.
