Finding a good gift for your pastor can be a challenge. While it may seem the last they they need is more books, here are a few rare gems they probably don’t have and would find a great blessing. Most of them were released in the last few years, even if they’re newer editions of classic works.
Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God’s Work by Tim Keller
Voices from the Past edited by Richard Rushing
Morning and Evening by C.H. Spurgeon
Dangerous Calling by Paul David Tripp
Lectures To My Students by C.H. Spurgeon
Faithfulness and Holiness by J.C. Ryle & J.I. Packer
Preachers and Preaching by Martin Lloyd-Jones (40th Anniversary Ed)
The Glory of Christ by John Owen
Two books I read this year and would highly recommend to any pastor or ministry leader are Jim Martin’s ‘The Just Church’ (http://bit.ly/Qbe99G) and Andy Stanley’s ‘Deep & Wide’ (http://bit.ly/ASDnW). I actually bought ‘Deep & Wide’ as a gift for my pastor and read it before gifting it to him. Both speak to ministry philosophy and church culture, while asking challenging questions.
