Nelson Searcy’s book The Renegade Pastor (Regal) is written for pastors who are ready to resist the pull toward average and “step back toward a life of impact and excellence.” Searcy covers a lot of territory in this helpful book, from managing stress to dealing with criticism to protecting time for family. Every church leader will find solid, timely advice in this volume. (We’ll have an interview with the author in the November-December issue of Preaching.)
