A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article about certain trends I noticed about the traffic on this web site. In the article, I’ve Noticed a Trend, I corelated the increased traffic on Mondays and Thursdays to ministers’ unhappiness after their weekly services.

A response to that article was from R. Michael Sanders, the author of The Pastor’s Unauthorized Instruction Book. His response was actually a quote from the book (which holds a 5-star rating on Amazon.com).

Many pastors resign on Monday morning. They “re-up” on Tuesday.

While I haven’t read the book yet, the user reviews on Amazon.com were great. Here are some excerpts:

After hearing Rev. Sanders speak in Dayton, TN this weekend I picked up a copy of his book. I didn’t think he could possibly be as good in print as he is in person. I was wrong! It’s hard to believe in three hundred sentences he could distill so much practical wisdom for church life, especially for the clergy types like me…

As a parishioner, I enjoyed … the opportunity to see things from the “other side of the pulpit”… I encourage every parishioner who would like to see how the shoe feels on the other foot to read this book.

Each page gives well grounded advice for how to survive pastoral ministry… This book is as valuable as any seminary class I have ever had, and it takes less than half an hour to read!

Sound like a good book? Read more about it on Amazon.com.
