Description
The tyranny of the urgent is a by-product of our fast-paced world. It affects many people, but when it impacts pastors they are often tempted to ignore the critical needs of the pastoral disciplines that ensure the effectiveness of ministry.
In Thinking, Listening, and Being: Wesleyan Pastoral Disciplines, Jeren Rowell offers theological reflections on what it means to live and work as a pastor. He examines different aspects of pastoral thinking, practice, and work, and challenges pastors to continually pursue prayer, the study of Scriptures, and theological reflection.
“Working in this way,” he writes, “could not only be a gift of love for the church but also an important model for parish pastors who are tempted to surrender first things to the urgencies and temptations of contemporary life.”
Advance Praise
A well written examination of essential pastoral disciplines in the Wesleyan tradition. Firmly rooted in scripture, theologically reflective, and practically defined, these disciplines are essential to Christian ministry. Every pastor will benefit from this excellent work.

Finally, we have a book written by someone who understands deeply the practice of the pastoral office. Dr. Jeren Rowell has not given us some suggested practices that might work if we try real hard. He has offered us the most comprehensive vision for the contemporary pastor to date. The words on these pages are indicative of the man who has given his life to modeling pastoral integrity for us, and mentoring those of us who desire to embrace the heart of God in ministry. I am deeply grateful to have first-hand experience of Dr. Rowell's gifts and grace for ministry. I am delighted that the publication of this excellent resource will give others the opportunity to become the pastor we all hope to be by God's grace. Every young minister I mentor in the future will receive a copy of this book
