Christian Pastor Austin Carty, latest book, “The Pastors’ Bookshelf: Why Reading Matters in Ministry,” aims to get Christian pastors, and hopefully through osmosis and encouragement their congregations, to begin a long love affair with reading.
His passion for books and reading, and how it can benefit the face-to-face pastoral work and just helping humans in general become more fully actualized, are obvious.
Carty is pastor of Boulevard Baptist Church, affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, and this conversation could have extended for hours, due to our mutual passion for books and reading.
