Honest

You know all the things you’re thinking about miniature wise that you can never say out loud, for fear you’ll be judged? This book says it all. Thank you to the author for the honesty that is often lacking in Christian circles.

As a sucker for a good Memoir I really enjoyed this book and the author's story. As a pastor it spoke to many of the pitfalls of the occupation, but also to the many joys. The scripture references and the theology presented was insightful and though provoking. The story involves physical and emotion abuse as well as mental health, so be aware if those are triggers for you. It was a rare look into the life of a pastor who was presented not as perfect. I would recommend this book to those who are clergy, but also to those who are struggling with mental illness and/or with their faith.

The only negative for me was that I would have liked to hear more about the courtship and love of his wife it seemed a bit glossed over, but you still get the picture of what happened.
