"Don't Just Send a Resume" by Benjamin Vrbicek

I'm pleased to have my own copy of this sharp new book by Benjamin Vrbicek--though I hope I don't need to use it myself any time soon!

Benjamin's newest book is titled, Don't Just Send a Resume: How to Find the Right Job in a Local Church, and I was privileged to be one of 50 pastors he interviewed in his research and also to read an advanced copy. Here is my endorsement:

"Anyone who is looking for a 'job' in a local church will want to read this book, and all of us who already have found one will wish we had it back then. With his happy, humorous, and friendly writer's voice, Benjamin Vrbicek deftly blends the relevant theological truths with truly helpful tips for making the most of the search process from the candidate's end. I keep giving away copies to my friends." - Matt Mitchell

I've enjoyed getting to know Benjamin online and on the phone. I hope to meet him in person some time. We are both pastors in the EFCA, so hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later.
