Dangerous Calling
Book Review
I read this years ago shortly after it came out, and I read it this time as a part of a coaching program I am participating in. My feelings on the book are mixed. It does feel like a hyper critical book, but it points to common realities. It it is probably the most thorough diagnostic book I have read for the pastor to evaluate his heart. However, I can't shake the feeling that it is too heavy, too critical. That said, I suspect if I had visited all the churches that Tripp has visited and seen all that he has seen, I would want to communicate them as he has in this book.
So, I would call this book helpful, best in class, but not for everybody in all seasons of ministry.
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
You never know what you will find in an attic! Usually there is a hodgepodge of things buried under dust.
Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
