A Pastor's Heart

This collection of essays, written in honor of beloved pastor, Harry L. Reeder III, points not only to his life but beyond it to the God he served.

Brite, this selection of essays on the multifaceted and different elements of ministry is written by men who acknowledge Reeders influence on their lives and ministries.
