Brian and Cara Croft
\n(Zondervan, 2013)<\/em><\/p>\n

Few careers affect an entire family as much as a ministry calling. Brian and Cara Croft know this from their experience as veterans of two decades of ministry. In their book, The Pastor<\/em>\u2019s Family<\/em>, the couple tackles three critical areas of the pastor\u2019s family\u2014his heart, his wife, and his children.<\/p>\n

Throughout the book, both Brian and Cara speak to these areas from the unique perspective of both husbands and wives. To make the book even more helpful, they included discussion questions to ask one another as you process the material.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find a variety of books on family relationships or on the role of a pastor, but you\u2019ll find very few that tackle the unique needs of a pastor\u2019s family. The Crofts\u2019 answer to the problems they face is simple, even if it\u2019s not always easy to apply\u2014the gospel.<\/p>\n

\u201cRepentance is key to this process, not just to experience forgiveness with God, but also to experience restoration in our families by breaking neglectful patterns,\u201d Brian writes.<\/p>\n

Because of the unique and often overwhelming stresses that replanting and revitalization put upon a pastor\u2019s family, this book will be an important tool for families to use in their journeys. As you read it, take the time to talk through the discussion questions with your wife and let the book become a catalyst for gospel growth in your relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
