Rating:  Summary: This is a wonderful book! Review: Jeff Berryman's book is a fascinating read about the life of a preacher. I almost felt as though I was intruding as I became privy to the most personal feelings, joys, fears, heartaches, and struggles of the minister who is a man of God, but still a simple man with all the frailties and temptations of all human beings. This insight into the life of a pastor/preacher and his family touched my heart as no book has in a long time. I highly recommend this book to everyone, but especially to anyone who has ever been a member of a church congregation or has ever known a minister. The church members in the book will remind you of some in your own congregation, and the minister's struggle with his feelings and his problems will almost move you to tears. This is a book you'll want to own so that you can pick it up and re-read it whenever you want.
