Review: This is an extremely interesting read. I was really drawn in by the book and couldn't put it down. I will not be a book that will change your life or one that you will necessarily agree will all the conclusions arrived at...but I like that. It is really a fascinating book.

Title: Under the Unpredictable Plant: An Exploration in Vocational Holiness
Author: Eugene Peterson
Subject: Ministry
Readability: (1 =easy to 5 =difficult):3
Review: Wonderful book for anyone in ministry in most any capacity but especially in a church setting. He uses the story of Jonah to help ministers essentially recover or maintain the one thing that is essential. I have been many of the places he describes and this book was very helpful to me in coming out of some ministry struggles and I just read it again recently in hopes of continued encouragement and guidance.
