Authentic and Accessible A refreshing account of a leader who admits his weaknesses and openly shares his journey of recovery. The Serenity prayer is a powerful tool for learning to let go and Tom Peers provides a very accessible journey forward using his own experiences as a guide. I am incredibly grateful for Tom's willingness to be vulnerable. The Pastor and the Prayer has given me the courage to let go and learn to trust.. Highly Recommend I love this book so much because it is honest, open, & transparent! Too many pastors hide behind their masks as if they do not experience any real problems in their lives. As a fellow pastor, I admire and respect Pastor Tom for sharing his experience and showing the way to recovery. This book is very well written and clearly shows his gift for teaching. I bought several copies so that I can give them to those I counsel who are suffering from depression and/or addictions. I highly recommend this book! Please buy more than one copy because I guarantee you will want to share it . Highly recommend this book This book is a resource for anyone desiring to live a God centered life. It is encouraging, convicting and inspiring. Tom Peers describes well his life changing story by living the serenity prayer. This book will give you powerful tools to effectively combat discouragement, despair and depression by using God's Word. Read this book and experience the freedom that Jesus gives, and bask in the grace of God.
