About this book

Discover the raw, biblical heart of the pastoral calling: feeding the hungry, seeking the lost, and guarding the flock. Whether you are a seasoned leader or a curious seeker, these stories will ignite a deeper love for the Good Shepherd and His people.

John Chrysostom was born around 347 AD in Antioch, Syria, the son of a military officer, and received the finest classical education his era could provide before his conversion to an ascetic Christian life under the bishop Meletius.
From John Chrysostom — The Golden-Mouthed Shepherd
