Letters to a Young Pastor: Timothy Conversations between Father and Son

Have you ever felt in over your head? When Eric Peterson became the pastor of a brand-new church, he quickly and wisely turned to his dad for guidance.

This is Eugene Peterson at his best--lifelong wisdom written with deep love.

As the reader, you will glimpse into the tender, witty, personal side of Eugene mentoring his own son. These intimate letters will be treasured by all who read, and applicable to church leaders around the globe.
