Pastors that become book writers

[TheGloryLand]

Do you know anyone personally, or Pastor of an Independent Baptist church that you might of attended. Is this a special calling, writing Christian books.

I truly believe it is a gift, especially since I'm a writer. I also know several pastors, both IFB, SBC, and even a few Methodist and Lutheran writers. One writer I know of who is IFB is probably known by some here, and he's written the only set of Bible commentaries ever by an IFB pastor...Dr. David H. Sorenson of the Northstar Baptist Church in Duluth, MN. He used to be my youth pastor in years gone by, as well as the associate pastor in the church his father pastored in Pekin, IL. I also know some of the Rice family, and they are writers, as well as Dr. Allen Jackson who pastors the World Outreach Church (the largest church in town) here in the Murfreesboro, Tennessee area.

It was very hard to share a good book back then. Little more easy now with the internet. I imagine 30 years ago, it must’ve been really hard. There’s probably many very good Christian books out there, that were never been presented well. Sitting in boxes in a warehouses somewhere.

I know a number of pastors who've written books. And I think it's great.

I know a few as well.  It is somewhat of a "gift" (although NOT a "spiritual gift" per se).  However, more could develop this "gift" if they would take the time to learn English grammar more thoroughly and if they would be more habitual readers and students.

That’s sounds like me,

I totally agree with this!
