for pastors
It's always dangerous to go to the Luther Seminary bookstore. Among my finds yesterday was The Lutheran Handbook for Pastors which follows the extremely successful The Lutheran Handbook. The pastors' handbook is generally not as funny, but does have more useful suggestions. (There is also The Lutheran Handbook on Marriage.) A few of my favorite excerpts:
* You may be called to ordained ministry if you can ingest large quantities of low-grade coffee without becoming ill.
* Consider finding out the brand of your bishop's favorite candy and send him or her a case of it, especially if you might enter the mobility process in the near future.
* If you're bored with your preaching, there's a good chance others are too.
