Beside Still Waters

Edited by Dr. Stephen Muse with chapters contributed by Turner Clergy Center Staff

This resource was conceived in the hearts of pastors and written for pastors who need quick medicine for the restoration of their souls and long-term healing.  It addresses the most critical areas of clergy care that support a long-term ministry: protecting the sense of call to ministry, identifying unconscious motivations that distort priorities, dealing with difficult parishioners, disruptions in clergy family life, prayer and spiritual direction, sabbaticals, maintaining ethical boundaries in intimacy, relocation grief, conflict resolution in the church and the ministry of preaching. This timely reference that alerts pastoral care-givers to the need for balance in ministry is strongly recommended as necessary reading for seminarians and continuing pastoral education. $14

Beside Still Waters is an honest, thoughtful look at the "inner experience" of being a pastor.  Reflecting on this excellent material should make the work of ministry easier and more effective. I have used it in my teaching with Doctor of Ministry students. - Denise Massey, Professor of Pastoral Theology, McAfee School of Theology

"This is an enormously helpful book - "must reading" for pastors as well as lay leaders. It is written with an uncommonly cohesive combination of empathic sensitivity, factual information and practical guidance. If you are a pastor who wants to stay a pastor, here is your survival manual!" - Roy Woodruff, PhD, former Executive Director of American Association of Pastoral Counselors

"Beside Still Waters is a manual for both crisis prevention and rescue, which will help pastors - and their flocks - to walk faithfully in the footsteps of the Good Shepard. I highly recommend it." - Franklin Graham, President of Samaritan's Purse

Raising Lazarus

Edited by Dr. Stephen Muse

"Raising Lazarus takes an adventuresome approach to the fundamental practical issue raised by the Christian faith: how are we to live the union of divine and human life that is offered to us by Christ? The book's clear reply is: Certainly not by a 'spiritual' manner of living, if that means ignoring the psychological and bodily aspects of our being. In their different ways the contributors invite us to use the insights of the Fathers as well as those of contemporary depth psychology in our search for wholeness in Christ, thereby confirming that the Tradition of the Church is quite capable of facing the challenges of the new century in a lively and constructive manner." Bishop Basil of Sergievo. $19.95
