Mondays with My Old Pastor: Sometimes, All We Need Is a Reminder from Someone Who Has Walked Before Us
By José Luis Navajo (Thomas Nelson
Publishers, 2012)
Seated in his
pastor’s home, the author, José Luis Navajo, also a pastor himself, speaks to
one who has walked before him down the road of leading a church. Through his
Monday talks with his old pastor, a lifetime of wisdom is shared, which works
to renew and refresh a worn out soul.
Personal stories, thought-provoking
insights, humor, and emotional elements, are plenty in the pages of this book.
Fifteen unique principles are conveyed in this book, which will encourage you
and help guide you in whatever field you are in.
“I have come to the
conclusion that victory and, above all, happiness do not lie in being a shining
star, but rather being who God meant you to be and shiny your tiny bit of light
in the place He has chosen for you. The forests would be silent if the only
birds that sang were the ones that knew how to do it the best. The symphony of
a forest, the beauty of this symphony, is made up of the multiplicity of songs,
where lofty notes are sung along with cacophonous sounds, but when joined
together, they all create therapy for the oppressed soul,” (Navajo, 2012, p.
204).
This book is one of
those books that will influence your life and inspire you beyond your time
spent reading it. Making a great addition to your personal library, this book
would also make a great gift.
