Book Description

After spending his first decade out of seminary serving a historic Baptist church in the urban Atlanta community of Grant Park, Tony Lankford reflects on his sense of call and what it means for him to be a pastor. This light look at church and ministry highlights the dire need for fidelity to the vocation of church leadership. It also illustrates Lankford’s conviction that the historic, local congregation has a beautiful, vibrant, and hopeful future. This story of Lankford’s journey toward understanding and accepting his vocation will guide and inspire other young men and women as they wrestle with God’s call in their own lives.
