Pastoring God's people is not about managerial techniques or quick-fix therapies. Pastors are not life-coaches or salesmen. They are ambassadors of Christ Jesus, called to speak not of their own wisdom but the wisdom of the cross. Their "craft" is the art of knowing how to distinguish God's Law from His Gospel. They preach the Law not in order to renovate broken lives but to reveal the rot that sin has caused so that God's other word, the good news of the forgiveness of sins can ring true and clear, restoring the joy of salvation to those caught in guilt and despair. This book is aptly titled, Pastor Craft as it takes us into the workshop of a teacher whose life has been devoted to teaching this craft to those calling it will be to preach this good Word in season and out of season. Young pastors will find seasoned wisdom here for faithful ministry. Veteran pastors might read the book as something as a refresher course in pastoral theology.
