{"product_id":"9781527109162","title":"Pastoral Friendship : The Forgotten Piece in a Persevering Ministry","description":"\u003cp\u003eFriendship is a need that touches the deepest parts of the human soul. This is especially true in ministry. It is a need that is not simply rooted in enjoyment and companionship, but in the necessity to care well of one's soul and survive a long-term ministry. This book seeks to persuade every modern pastor of the essential need of friendship. And not just any friendship, but a close, personal, intimate, and sacrificial pastor-to-pastor friendship that regularly turns each other's gaze to Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFriends and pastors, Michael Haykin, Brian Croft and James Carroll examine portraits of friendship in scripture and church history, before exhorting readers to modern pastoral friendships. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eForeword by Austin Walker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart 1: Looking Back\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1.     Portraits of Friendships in Scripture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2.     A Pastoral Friendship (1): Basil of Caesarea and Eusebius of Samosata (4th Century)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e3.     A Pastoral Friendship (2): Benjamin Francis and Joshua Thomas (18th Century)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart 2: Looking Ahead\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e4.     The Command for Friendship\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e5.     The Blessings of Friendship\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e6.     The Challenges of Friendship\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e7.     Modern Exhortations to Pastoral Friendship\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christian Focus Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49483979391203,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781527109162","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
