Reviews

"[ Pastoral Politics] is a hard-hitting, no-nonsense treatise designed to lead readers to an understanding of "church politics' and ecclesiastical resignations. For the layman, and for many would-be pastors, Dr. Gilmore reveals the 'inside story' on why some clergy have been forced to consider vacating their ministries and moving on to other positions." D.JAMES KENNEDY, PHD. SENIOR PASTOR
CORAL RIDGE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

"Dr. Gilmore writes well: He is both interesting and informative. Pastoral Politics takes a neglected and touchy subject and, among other things, includes the idea that rather than resigning from their work, many preachers would do well to resign themselves to it. A good idea! This is a book that explores many aspects of resignation...It meets a real need." Dr. Jay AdamsChristian Counselor/Author

"The problems of the modern pastorate are legion. Some ministers fail morally. Most are faithful and yet experience great difficulty when their church rejects their leadership in various ways. In my experience, serving churches of all types across America, I believe nothing creates greater stress in the lives of many Christians (often leaving scars for the rest of their earthly life), and specially in the minister's own family, than when a pastor is forced to leave a ministry. The problem is now epidemic and the reasons are profoundly varied and deeply systemic. John Gilmore has carefully opened the window on this problem in a way that no other writer has previously accomplish. Sadly, this book is desperately needed. it will help both ministers and lay leaders face a major hindrance to the work of God's Spirit in our churches.Reformation in both the ordination and the equipping of our ministers is a great need in our day. Churches learning how to respond properly to their ministers is an equally great need. This book provides an important tool reforming many of the bad patterns in pastor/congregation relationship. I recommend it highly."Dr. John H. ArmstrongPRESIDENT, REFORMATION & REVIVAL MINISTRIES
