Welcome to The Shaun Tabatt Show! In this episode I speak with Michael A. Milton about his book The Secret Life of a Pastor (and other intimate letters on ministry). Here are some of the topics we cover in the interview:

• Michael's experiences training and mentoring military chaplains
• The story behind these letters and how they made their way into this book
• Wisdom on staying consistent with devotional reading and prayer time
• The importance of studying original languages in college, seminary, and ministry
• The lost art of letter writing

About the Book:  Living a life of Christian service is tough. Quite rightly we can have big hopes for what can be done and dealing with discouragement and disappointment when these dreams shatter can be a painful experience. Michael Milton has a real heart for those who are beginning that work, this heart comes out in brief, honest, penetrating letters that are gold for a pastor just starting out, and remain tremendously helpful to the rest of us, as we seek to serve Christ in our daily lives.  About the Author:  Michael A. Milton, is a Presbyterian minister, U.S. Army chaplain, and educator. His record of service includes senior minister of the historic First Presbyterian Church, Chattanooga, Tennessee. Dr Milton resides in North Carolina. Connect with Michael:
