The truth shall make you odd speaking with pastoral integrity in awkward situations

Honeycutt, Frank G. 1957- (Author).

Summary: Utilizing humor and encouragement and speaking across denominational lines, Frank Honeycutt examines a variety of biblical contexts where the truth of Jesus is difficult to hear, but direly needed--especially in settings where half-truths are the norm. He shows pastors how to courageously speak the truth no matter the risk or cost. --from publisher description
