The New Pastor by Sherman Cox

A Review By: NJH

Perennial student Elliot James has racked up many degrees and is contemplating another to continue postponing life. 

When his roommate forced Elliot to find a job, he applied for the secretarial position at Bethel Community Church. But, in a case of mistaken identity, the ranking church officer thought Elliot was the perfect candidate for the open pastoral position. 

He must become a pastor in a hurry because the church is falling apart. The church needed a jolt and Elliot needed a job. 

Find out what happens when a novice minister finds himself in the driver’s seat of a church? Will the church find their perfect pastor, or will they send him packing?


Review Notes:

Audio Book Publication Year: 2019

An installment in a Series? Yes

Narrator (s): Kenneth Toles

Elliot James is not sure what his passion or career path is. Surprisingly, he finds his calling by mistake.

This was a new to me author and narrator. To my surprise, I quite enjoyed the narration. The tone of his voice was pleasant to the ear. I liked that his voice changed with the characters, even received a few surprise notes. I can easily see this as a lifetime movie.

It’s low drama and no sexy time, which was not bad; just understand it’s Christian Fiction. While I speed up most of my books, I didn’t see the need to speed this one up.

Reading Recommendation? Yes

Rating: 3 (It's aight)
