Mondays with My Old Pastor
Summary
A totally burned out young preacher reignites his faith and gathers wisdom for life while spending successive Mondays with an 83 year old pastor.
"Deep inside in some uncertain part of my soul persisted this strange exhaustion that was difficult to explain and hard to endure," writes pastor and author Jose Luis Navajo.
Thinking of quitting the ministry, his life is forever changed by a chance meeting with a seasoned man of the cloth who, through successive Monday visits, offers a legacy of wisdom in the form of 15 unique principles. A true story, these real-life experiences will make readers laugh and perhaps cry, but will most certainly reignite every soul's longing for renewal.

I like Mondays...
If you needed reminding of the fundamentals of what it is to be a religious minister then this book provides a tonic. The principal character's challenges and frustrations will be recognised by numerous ministers and the endearing story telling capacity of the old pastor will warm even the most jaded of hearts. Coco for the soul....

Loved it
Didn't want to stop listening to this story. Loved the simplicity with which it was told, yet at the same time, the message conveyed was profound. I think that it was written for burned out pastors/church leaders, but it's just as relevant to anyone who's going through a difficult time. Uplifting. Worth savouring.

Jury is still out
So it has many good points, but there is some mystic concepts and strange stories that I’m still considering if I can recommend this theologically to others

Great book!
The book came at the right time. No coincidences with God. The narrator was great. Kept me coming back for more.

Beautifully Refreshing
I’ve entered my 4th year as a senior pastor. I often feel myself overwhelmed with the sense of duty and faithfulness and lost because I’m not sure how to execute those two. This book is beautifully refreshing and I’ve gained much comfort from the penned words. I will be listening to this again and again.

Thank you for this book!
Any additional comments?
My faith and my relationship with God and people got so much positive sparkle!!! The book is well described in the official summary; therefore I would like to add only the following to get the most of it.… read/listen to only one Monday’s story per week, perhaps on Monday (or Sunday) and try to implement it in your life during the week.
