What Others Are Saying

"Shepherd's Balm will bless and challenge every pastor who reads it. It will help them face and solve many of the problems pastors face today. I recommend it highly."

“Richard Earl has compiled a wonderful collection of Monday morning devotionals for the pastor from 52 of the church’s greatest writers. They are choice, golden nuggets that will challenge the mind and encourage the spirit.“

George O. Wood, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God

"Richard Earl has crafted an eloquent collage of prose and poetry, images and journaling space, to soothe a pastor's soul and heal emotional wounds—in short, a first-aid kit filled with psychological and spiritual supplies that help pastors stay fit while tending the Lord's flock."

— Dan Montgomery, Ph.D., Psychologist, author of Pastoral Counseling & Coaching

"In 'Shepherd's Balm,' Rich Earl is serving up for pastors some wise and soothing words for Monday mornings.   Combining devotional thoughts from some of the greatest Christian minds and hearts in the past few centuries with some original insights of his own, Rich is offering just what the doctor ordered.  I believe every pastor will benefit from all 52 doses."

- Paul E. Grabill, Lead Pastor, State College Assembly of God

"Some volumes tell stories that make you laugh or entertain, some provide information or increase awareness of the world, and some challenge the mind. Shepherd's Balm is a work for the pastor's soul. It will inform, challenge, and reveal the condition of the shepherd's heart, then invite reflection to apply what the heart has sensed the Spirit saying to the follower of Jesus who longs to be a faithful under-shepherd to the flock of God.

With the assistance of many classic authors, Pastor Earl has captured so much of the truth essential to the life and ministry of one called to serve the Master."

- Stephen Tourville, District Superintendent- PennDel District of the Assemblies of God

"I’ve been using Shepherd’s Balm during my quiet times. I don’t let just any book invade that space. Well done my friend.”
