They say hindsight is 20/20. This is true in so many ways including looking back over the year that a pandemic shut down the world. Life as people knew it was forever changed and people were forced to look at life through a different lens. They called health care workers, suppliers, pastors and many more essential. Everyone's mission changed except one: The Shepherd. Pastors still had to serve and save souls that they could not see, open hearts and minds without looking into their eyes, preach, teach, and pray through a camera lens, create new ways to praise and fellowship while leading the church from a distance. This book is an excellent resource for both pastors and parishioners as Dr. Jesse Thomas walks us through the process of "Shepherding from a Distance". Dr. Thomas takes us back to the beginning of the pandemic and leads us through the creative process, over the trials and tribulations, around the relationships and responsibilities to a new commitment to Christ which gives us hope and leads us to victory. Although, it remains a great mystery if the church will ever return back to the way we were once accustomed to, I believe this book provides us with the proper tools to be successful in leading from a distance. -Dr. Cory Taylor, Senior Pastor Mount Calvary Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia Jesse E.
