My good friend, Pastor Perry Messick of First Baptist Church in Collingdale, PA, recently bought a copy of "Embracing Gethsemane"". His choice to dive into the pages of this work speaks volumes about the heart of a pastor who desires to understand the depths of suffering that his congregation faces. In ministry, there are few moments as profound as the ones where you walk alongside your flock through their own personal Gethsemane moments—the times when life seems unbearable, and the weight of the world presses heavy on their souls.

Embracing Gethsemane" equips pastors like Perry with the language of compassion and the insight needed to walk with those enduring life's darkest trials. In these moments, where hope flickers but seems far off, a pastor with a shepherd’s heart can guide his people, helping them see that the path through the garden, though filled with sorrow, leads to a greater hope beyond. Perry’s decision to read this book reminds me that the role of a pastor is not just to preach but to carry the burdens of others, to sit with them in the darkness, and to lead them, by example, toward the light.

You can get your copy of the eBook or paperback on Amazon, and consider grabbing an extra one for a friend who could also benefit. Here’s the link: https://amzn.to/4d13EDd
