From Help For Shepherds

Pastors rarely work well in isolation. Whatever situation we find ourselves in we tend to look for advice, support, and ideas from various places. We look for lignuistic insight from commentaries, we look for culturally relevant ideas online, and we listen to other pastors in books, cds, DVD's, podcasts, blogs, conferences, and more.

There is such a wealth of information out there on some topcis that sometimes finding the best resource to use is difficult. We don't want to wade through every link and every book just to find the few that are really exceptional.

That's where this page comes in. This section is designed to be a place to find some of the best websites online, best books in print, best conferences, and more. Anything that you have found very helpful and you feel can help a fellow pastor belongs here.

In order to keep these pages containing only links and resources of high quality, please also rate those resources that you are have used so that others can be better informed about their usefulness.

Books - The classic resource for all pastors. What American pastor doesn't have a few thousand books lying around the office? But of those, only a few are resources that realy changed our outlook or the way we do ministry. Here is some of those books.

Web Links - The internet has become a very easy and convenient resource for many pastors. But Christians aren't very good about advertising online and many of the best sites remain unknown to us. Here are those sites that other pastors have found to be most helpful.

Podcasts - Sometimes one of the hardest things about being a pastor is not having someone to pastor us. Listening to other pastors on podcasts and vodcasts can help with that. These are direct links to downloadable and subscribable podcasts.

Conferences - In addition to reading and listening, sometimes we can get together with other pastors and learn in person. Here are some of the best conferences that are going on.

Pastoral Gatherings - Many cities and towns have regular times when pastors get together for support and prayer. Here are some gatherings around the nation that you might not know about but be able to join.
