Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this practical and eminently inspiring work, pastor and church planter Earl Buchan takes readers on a rich and real ride through the ups and downs of Christian ministry, offering down-to-earth insights and advice buoyed by grace and grit. "This book isn't about tearing into the church," writes Buchan in the Introduction. "It's about building up the person, you, me, those of us who know we are called to a kingdom life. This is all about rewilding ministry from he inside out." Honest and uplifting, there's no fire-breathing dragons or hellfire and brimstone here. No legalistic list of Dos and Don'ts. Just a heaping helping of "battle-hardened lessons" about "how to do the ministry in which you are called." Sensitive and sensible, The Uncomfortable Revolution is saturated in Scripture and soaked in hard-won sagacity. The tone is warm and winsome. Note that this isn't a "How to" book on how to build your church, boost church attendance, or implement the latest whiz bang ministry paradigm. It's not a dry and dusty theological treatise on church planting or a compilation of abstract theory that looks good on paper but fizzles and fades in the real world. Nor is it one of those dot all the Is and cross all the Ts just so recipes. Add water. Stir. And voila! You too can have a "mega-church" and instant ministry "success"! Nope. It's much deeper than that. More thoughtful. More authentic. More deliberate. There is so much to love about this book. Chapter 5, Broken, may be the stand-out chapter of the book. "Mariella." (You'll have to read the book to get that.) Recommended Reading and a FAQ section are also included (Dietrich Bonhoeffer! Miguel de Cervantes!). The material is cogent and crisp. A few choice tidbits include: "Be real, fail, get back up and try again. You are not alone, there are others like you and me." "Adapt. Improvise. Overcome." "What are you called to pick up or lay down for the sake of sharing the gospel?" "Ministry demands an authentic person with a heart submitted to Jesus Christ. There needs to be a change, a rewilding of the pastoral heart." "The only thing we carry with us into Heaven is our character, nothing more and nothing less." "You gotta trust the gear." And, "We live in a world dying of thirst that only Jesus can satisfy. " Topics include the two pillars of love - patience and kindness. Loving without reward. The daily grind. Disappointment and disenchantment in ministry. What to do when you feel like giving up. Spotting wolves in sheep's clothing and how to deal with them. Distractions. Fighting behind enemy lines. The difference between "career pastors" and "called pastors." Flexibility and creativity in ministry. Perils and pitfalls to beware. Balance. "Let's get real." Making "Pauls" instead of "Timothys." He wins. Framily. "Lift up your eyes to Him." And leaving well. Onward. The text is challenging in places. It's forthright. Clear eyed. Refreshing. No pre-packaged, cellophane-wrapped sermons or pie in the sky by and by here. Real asks the reader some pretty pointed questions about the condition of their own heart. It also tells it like it is - that sometimes ministry is difficult, thankless, and dull. Meanwhile, page after page offers gentle, practical insights illustrated with personal life experiences and lessons learned. Each chapter glides seamlessly into the next, with smooth transitions that are natural and relaxed. Indeed, reading The Uncomfortable Revolution is like sitting down at the kitchen table with a hot cuppa and sharing a conversation with an old friend. Talk about a breath of fresh air.

[3], vi-viii, xxxix, [1], 280pp, sepia engraved portrait frontispiece of Andrew Fletcher. Without half title. 8vo.

A supporter of the Americans during the Revolution, Erskine considered moving to the United States after the war but instead purchased Dryburgh Abbey, hoping to make it a Scottish cultural centre. In 1803 Erskine sent a copy of this work to Thomas Jefferson: 'considering the state of G.Britain & Europe & what I believed to be the principles and character of Mr Jefferson, I sent to him with a short expressive inscription a copy of my Essay on the life and writings of Fletcher of Saltoun; my intention was to defeat as far as my opinion could the prejudices conceived against Mr J. on both sides of the Atlantic'. Jefferson replied to Erskine at some length on July 10th.

Poem: On one side of a piece of 12mo paper. Fair, lightly-aged and a little ruckled, with traces of gum from previous mounting on the blank reverse. The 12-line poem is written in heroic couplets, and begins 'POOR, faithful animal, adieu! - | To Nature's kind affection true, | For fourteen years, thy grateful heart, | Devoted, play'd its humble part.' At the end a contemporary hand has ascribed the poem to 'B. B.', and the same hand gives the date as 'September 3d'. No record of the poem has been discovered, and there is no copy listed on COPAC, or in the catalogue of the National Library of Scotland. It is possible that the poem has been removed from a volume, but it is more likely that it is a handbill production of the private press of the eccentric 11th Earl of Buchan. Photograph: Cut into an oval 4.5 cm wide and 6 cm high. Sepia profile image of a pug dog, seated on its hind legs. Lightly stained.
