He began posting these tender and honest prayerson the Facebook page for this association and was surprised to find out how much they were appreciated and anticipated. Now these prayers are made available for a broader audience—giving words for those moments when a minister or a ministering person might not have them.
A pastor to pastors, Rev. Dr. Joe Kutter provides the tender words of care that speak to every situation of a pastor’s life. As pastors, we are always asked to pray for the concerns of others, but who prays for us? Joe does. He is intimately acquainted with the joys and sorrows of pastoral ministry. And his words are like a soothing balm, a lifeline in the midst of isolation, and an encouraging pat on the back from someone who truly understands.This book is a gift to us, just as Joe is.
