D.A Carson's dad.

Last week at our home group my pastor was in a reading mood and I am so glad I was there. He shared with us a few portions of this book that, he says, has impacted him more than any other book in the last 5 months. The name of the book is: "Memoirs of an ordinary pastor" by D.A Carson. I was deeply moved by his fidelity to the text of Scripture and also by his loving confrontation of a preacher who was departing a bit from the meaning of texts. My pastor read only a few pages to us but it was definitely mouth watering. Hopefuly I'll read it right after I finish my "The expository genius of John Calvin" by Steven Lawson, which is a great little book by a great preacher.Lawson is as good in writting as he is behind the pulpit. It is a book that has opened my eyes and reminded me a few things about expository preaching. I actually already had the pleasure of putting some of it (or so I think) to practice, since I was graced with an opportunity to preach at my local church not long ago. Those are two books that definitely have a lot to offer to a pastor's soul. Check them out.
God bless.
