The Pastor's Bookshelf

What should pastors be reading? What books might be more accessible for bi-vocational pastors? What doctrines should a pastor be well versed in? Should there be a balance between “heady” and “devotional” reading? Should a pastor buy a set of commentaries or individual volumes?

Brian Croft and Jim Savastio answer these, and many more on this episode of Trench Talk.
