To get at the often-overlooked essentials of ministry, Peterson redfines the meaning of pastor through three vivid, strengthening adjectives--unbusy, subversive, and apocalyptic--and then focuses on pastoral ministry and spiritual direction "between Sundays." Illustrated with engaging anecdotes from Peterson's own experience as a pastor, the book includes poetic reflections on the Beatitudes and discussions of such themes as curing souls, the ministry of small talk, the language of prayer, and sabbatical.
