About this listen
The book is a study of the requirements and qualifications for a church pastor.
Excerpt from the preface of the book:
Many opinions exist concerning the qualifications of a church pastor. Some believe the leadership in a church should follow the popular social dictates. Others believe the requirements for church leadership are governed by the church body. Following such beliefs, a liberal church would appoint a pastor who is liberal. Likewise, a conservative church would appoint a pastor who is conservative. However, are these popular beliefs Biblical? What are God's requirements for pastors? Fortunately, God has publicly published them in the Bible. He Gave Some to Be Pastors examines these requirements. God has provided a consistent standard for all of his pastors. Furthermore, this unchanging standard is patterned after Jesus.

What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

Story
The City of God is one of the most important works of Christian history and philosophy ever written. The writings of St. Augustine are as intriguing to the casual reader as it is to Christian researchers. St. Augustine's work provides insight into Western thought and the development of Western civilizations. The City of God provides the reader with an artful contrast between earthy cities and those in heaven as a representation of the eternal struggle between good and evil. The City of God was originally penned in the early 5th century as a response to the prevalent belief that Christianity was to blame for the fall of Rome. St. Augustine is known as one of the most influential Fathers of the Catholic Church. Born November 13, 354, Augustine would eventually be recognized as a Saint by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Christian Church, and the Anglican Communion.
