How to Become a Bishop Without Being Religious (Audio DAISY Book)

Type: Non-fiction
Subject categories: Humour, Sermons and Preaching, The Church
Read by: Martha Arney

"More devils can be routed by a little laughter than by a carload of humorless piety," writes Methodist Pastor Charles Merrill Smith in How to Become a Bishop Without Being Religious. The devils that Smith wants to exorcise are the phony pietism and trivial hypocrisy that many a Protestant pastor has to indulge in if he intends to climb the hierarchical ladder of his church. Success in the ministry, says Smith, comes from meticulous conformity to "the right professional stance." A clergyman must never even think, for example, of driving a red Corvette convertible. For beginning preachers, a black, two-door Falcon is ideal, a dark green Chevy II with automatic transmission is "safe" for the pastor of a small congregation. But a substantial urban congregation may expect its minister to drive something a bit larger and less austere, such as a blue Mercury Comet or a Pontiac Tempest.

You can help these leaders by reinforcing them through intercessory prayer. In this book, Peter Wagner not only teaches the biblical basis for intercessory prayer, but also shares who is and who isn't an intercessor, why leaders themselves often don't pray enough, what the three types of personal intercessors are, and how you can recruit prayer partners. Prayer Shield is a complete guide to becoming a personal intercessor. Discover how you can impart God's strength and protection in support of those advancing the Kingdom of God here on earth.” This is an excellent book for Christian groups to study together.
