“Waiting for a Song in the Night: The Trauma of Pastoral Termination” by Eli Landrum
I commend “Waiting for a Song in the Night: The Trauma of Pastoral Termination” by Eli Landrum, former pastor and more recently retired from a 20-year editorial tenure at LifeWay Christian Resources in Nashville.
Skillfully written in a confessional but nonaccusatory style, it offers both preventive and remedial insights for neophytes; salty, old gray beards; and those who serve as resource personnel for pastors.
Eli and I go back to the ’60s. He is a dear friend and I think he has done all clergy a service with his exceptionally well written book that speaks with insight and compassion on an ongoing issue. Copies may be obtained from Parson’s Porch Books (423-475-7308, www.parsonsporch.com) and other locations.
