Synopsis

A totally burned-out young preacher reignites his faith and gathers wisdom for life while spending successive Mondays with an eighty-three-year-old pastor."Deep inside in some uncertain part of my soul persisted this strange exhaustion that was difficult to explain and hard to endure," writes pastor and author Jose Luis Navajo. Thinking of quitting the ministry, Navajo doesn't know where to turn until he begins meeting with a seasoned man of the cloth—his "old pastor"—who, through successive Monday visits, offers a legacy of wisdom in the form of 15 unique principles.In lyrical prose, Navajo shares the personal anecdotes, fables, and deep spiritual insights offered by the old pastor and his wife. By turns funny, heartbreaking, and thought provoking, Mondays with My Old Pastor is a comfort to anyone who struggles in his or her walk with God. As readers follow Navajo's journey from desperation to rejuvenation, they will find themselves similarly transformed and inspired. This moving, beautifully written account is sure to reignite every soul's longing for renewal.

Many allow this discouragement to cause them to leave the life they......more

Goodreads review by Eliot on June 08, 2023

My mentor recommended we read this book together during a season when I was particularly worn out. It took me a while to settle in and enjoy, but somewhere midway through the book started becoming life giving. The book is a compilation of Monday meetings that a burnt out younger pastor had with an o......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on January 27, 2020

This was an easy read, but full of wisdom. I highly recommend this book. I found myself crying at several points in the book. I wish that I had had some of the advice in this book when I was a young pastor fighting the urge to quit, dealing with difficult, and at times, mean people, and feeling very......more

Goodreads review by Virginia on June 11, 2017

You know, every now and again a book keeps coming to your attention and you keep rejecting it until finally you can reject it no more. So you find yourself reading this book you’ve passed over so many times. You’re sure you won’t like the book. You have the “why bother” attitude. And then you’re suck......more
