"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 José 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."
I believe this book will benefit anyone who questions their purpose in life, or feels the frustrations experienced daily. It's a wonderful book to inspire and restore hope.
With 15 Monday visits shared in this brief little book, I believe my favorite is on the 10th Monday. His Old Pastor shares this: Simply make room for Him in your daily life. I like that. When I act on that simple statement, my day goes well. I'll share one more thoughtful treasure: Sit everyday at the feet of Jesus, and then Tell the world what you have seen. That would make the world brighter.
I hope I've shared enough that you'll want to read this moving, beautifully written account of Navajo's journey from desperation to rejuvenation. In lyrical prose, he 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.
