Pastoral Reflections on Life and Ministry

by John P Davis, Andrew Straubel (Foreword by)

Overview

Pastoral Reflections on Life and Ministry expresses my passion to look at life and ministry through the lens of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether it is theology, Christian fellowship, ecclesiology, or social issues, the gospel alone sheds the kind of light needed to see things from God's perspective. These are reflections of a man, a husband, a father, a pastor, and a friend who continues to grow in God's forgiving and transforming grace and in the superior, soul-satisfying knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. I offer these reflections not only for you to know how I think, but to challenge you to think and write and share your gospel-centered thoughts with others.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Early in my Christian life as a young man in seminary, I had the privilege of sitting under John’s ministry. Now, over forty years later, and as a much older man, I have the privilege to serve alongside John at Grace Church. The passing years have not diminished his allegiance to Christ and the gospel. These reflections will strengthen God’s people now and long into the future in their own commitment to finish the race well.”

—Stephen M. Davis, Elder, Grace Church of Philly



“John Davis has done a wonderful job of capturing the painful and glorious experience of the ‘already, not yet’ work of sanctification in the believer’s life in poetic form. Fresh water to the soul.”

—Brian Martin, Pastor, Sonship Church
