What is it like to be a preacher or rabbi who no longer believes in God? In this expanded and updated edition of their groundbreaking study, Daniel C. Dennett and Linda LaScola comprehensively and sensitively expose an inconvenient truth that religious institutions face in the new transparency of the information age—the phenomenon of clergy who no longer believe what they publicly preach. In confidential interviews, clergy from across the ministerial spectrum—from liberal to literal—reveal how their lives of religious service and study have led them to a truth inimical to their professed beliefs and profession. Although their personal stories are as varied as the denominations they once represented, or continue to represent—whether Catholic, Baptist, Episcopalian, Methodist, Mormon, Pentecostal, or any of numerous others—they give voice not only to their own struggles but also to those who similarly suffer in tender and lonely silence. As this study poignantly and vividly reveals, their common journey has far-reaching implications not only for their families, their congregations, and their communities—but also for the very future of religion.

As leaders if we are going to fulfill God's purpose and plan in these last days, then we must receive His correction so that we can truly "make a difference" in this lost and dying world. As you read this book, you may be able to find some character flaws in your own personality; if you do, remember it is His mercy that will bring you to true repentance. There is a much harsher judgment on leaders; because we are responsible for the lives of God's people, this responsibility means that we should lead by example and we should live our lives by the message we preach. Therefore, we should always exemplify holiness. Prejudice, is only one sin that is hidden in the lives of God's leaders. As leaders, we are very good at covering up this sin and we most certainly do not want to be exposed. When we talk about prejudice, the first thought that enters our minds are people, particularly race against race. Racial prejudice, characterized as people prejudice, is wide spread throughout the world. But, why do we experience it in our Churches? Here is the answer. I believe the leaders of this day have been given the obligation to detect and to destroy this seed; however, it is never dealt with because it is ALIVE in the leadership. When we are dealing with our secret sins, the first thing we must realize is although we have it tucked away and we think that it will never be exposed, then we are only kidding ourselves. Because, of the love that God has for us, He will soon bring us to our knees. Therefore it would be better for us if we repent and ask for deliverance rather than for God to expose it. God only exposes it when we fail to heed His cry of repentance. My prayer is this: As you read this book, that you and you ministry will be totally and completely exposed, so that Jesus will set you free. When you stand in the pulpit, knowing what you do behind closed doors, does it ever occur to you that God's heart is grieved with your undisciplined life, and hav

The Pastors’ Diaries was written to help pastors recognize that some of their most private and convicting thoughts and challenging circumstances are not unique to them. It’s designed to help pastors navigate these overwhelming situations with the resource of actual lived experiences that have led to massive failures or amazing triumphs. Throughout the book you will read detailed accounts as communicated by the pastors sharing intimate details of their pastoral journey, much of which has never been shared in a public format. Real people and real stories fill these pages, some of them are unbelievable and hilarious while others may leave you in tears heartbroken and bewildered at how the body of Christ could survive this long with this much dysfunction. With the increasing suicide rate of pastors, the mass exodus of pastors from the pastorate, the porn addiction of pastors and the shear depression of pastors being so alarming, something must be said and done to challenge the trajectory of this epidemic. I pray that this book will validate the Pressure, Pain, Pride, Power, Passion, and Pedestal a Pastor experiences and also give them the freedom to take the steps necessary to respond to these situations and Persevere from them in healthy ways. Another goal of this book is to help the church member have a better understanding of the person that sits in that middle chair and stand behind that sacred podium so they can have realistic expectations of the human they’ve empowered to shepherd them and as a result, learn how to love them appropriately. Coincidentally, they will discover that no one in all of church has experienced more offenses than the ones called to lead and yet they have in most cases remained faithful and in place until God decided to move them.

The book is primarily a side-by-side account from Roger Eigenfeld and PaulHarrington of their ministries, with commentary by Duane Paetznick. Roger was at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church in Mahtomedi for 33 years, and Paul did ministry at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Apple Valley, also for 33years. They tell how each of those churches grew into megachurches during their tenure. They also reflect on what it was like to be leaders during those times of growth, development, and change. The book probes how a climate of welcome and trust helped each of these churches to grow. In a unique twist, throughout the book, Duane Paetznick, who worked beside both Roger and Paul for many years, offers additional insights on their ministries from his perspective. Duane's insights often compare and contrast the ministry styles of Roger and Paul. Both were outstanding leaders but in surprising and sometimes very different ways.

In the formative years of the Methodist Church in the United States, women played significant roles as proselytizers, organizers, lay ministers, and majority members. Although women’s participation helped the church to become the nation’s largest denomination by the mid-nineteenth century, their official roles diminished during that time. In Beyond the Pulpit, Lisa Shaver examines Methodist periodicals as a rhetorical space to which women turned to find, and make, self-meaning. In 1818, Methodist Magazine first published “memoirs” that eulogized women as powerful witnesses for their faith on their deathbeds. As Shaver observes, it was only in death that a woman could achieve the status of minister. Another Methodist publication, the Christian Advocate, was America’s largest circulated weekly by the mid-1830s. It featured the “Ladies’ Department,” a column that reinforced the canon of women as dutiful wives, mothers, and household managers. Here, the church also affirmed women in the important rhetorical and evangelical role of domestic preacher. Outside the “Ladies Department,” women increasingly appeared in “little narratives” in which they were portrayed as models of piety and charity, benefactors, organizers, Sunday school administrators and teachers, missionaries, and ministers’ assistants. These texts cast women into nondomestic roles that were institutionally sanctioned and widely disseminated. By 1841, the Ladies’ Repository and Gatherings of the West was engaging women in discussions of religion, politics, education, science, and a variety of intellectual debates. As Shaver posits, by providing a forum for women writers and readers, the church gave them an official rhetorical space and the license to define their own roles and spheres of influence. As such, the periodicals of the Methodist church became an important public venue in which women’s voices were heard and their identities explored.

As the wife of the pastor of Divine Revelations, which was one of the fastest-growing churches in her city, it seemed like Pasha had it all. With her husband, she conducted superlative worship services filled with the Holy Spirit. Their church made the couple popular as their house of worship was well known for its music and excellent services. People saw Pasha and Rick as a united power couple, but they had no idea it was only an image. While they lived in a beautiful home in a pristine, gated community overlooking the city, Rick was competitive, combative, and belittling-in that order. Most days, especially Sundays, he was verbally abusive, assaulting everyone around him, but reserving most of his bark for Pasha and her son, Loren. As a coping mechanism, she started tuning Rick out and living like a zombie until one day, she decided she needed to make a change.

You will meet in these pages a traveler without tickets, a lonely frog, and a reluctant consumer, seen with appreciation from the writer's unique point of view. Others are a small-town schoolboy, a farmer who loves his land, and a grandfather whose late-model car "has everything on it." The modern-day manipulators in suits and ties are here, along with the kindly old woodsman of the nursery tale and a wolf who openly deplores his loss of habitat. In these essays, individuals and families share the joys and challenges of their own times and seasons, having much to gain if the world can go forward without increased rumblings with wheels.
