To honor and serve God is the dream of everyone who loves Jesus. How can we do this? This is the big question. Some, the least, embark on the adventure of ministry. Others live their lives, professions, and occupations with the guilt of not having put priorities in the right order. In both cases, good intentions confront the reality of life as it is. Ministry is not always the idyllic place to serve God, nor does a profession or occupation in itself displace God from center stage. Life decisions are full of contradictions. “Pastor, Pastor” shows us, in a warm and engaging way, the struggle of its characters to find their own destiny amid life's contradictions. Above the right or wrong decisions, it teaches us that God always gives us another chance.

Through a particularly good narrative, we meet characters who represent the ideals, the heart, the greatness, the mistakes and the miseries of many who long to serve God and people. Those of us who have been in the world of evangelical churches and "ministry" for several decades will feel that we are reliving stories that happened to us, of which we were part (or suffered) in one way or another. The critical look at certain emphases and practices of recent years can help us to open our eyes to some imbalances, but with a constructive spirit, seeking to clear the way to recover the essence of life in community of the people of God.

The interweaving stories of this book will stay with you. The characters will be familiar to those who've spent years in church ministry, but Field depicts them so vividly and compassionately that, through his narration, the reader gets that rare opportunity of loving critical distance. Field never leaves the narrative frame, so the story doesn't turn moralizing. His story, rather, generates questions for the potential writing of new stories. We journey with these characters for a while, to be able to travel our own journeys with more clarity and wisdom.

I know this, especially, because this review refers to an earlier edition of the book, which has stayed with me for more than 7 years! Pastor, Pastor has been long in the making by Field, an astute observer of the church. I am so glad it is now widely available.
