review 1: This book is about a young man finishing seminary, doing an internship, finding wife and landing a good job. That sounds pretty dull and boring but Moody adds a lot of humor along with a lot of different personalities that make this book very funny and interesting. The cast of characters that Elmo meets up with have to be based upon real people because you cannot make this kind of stuff up. Anyone who has spent anytime in workings and behind the scene decisions and actions of the church will enjoy this book. For those who just attend a church, a lot of this book will be over your head and you will not appreciate the dry wit and humor that deals with business meetings, settling disagreements and balancing budgets. For the pastors and church leaders out there, this book... more will lighten your day and bring a smile to your face. I really enjoyed all three of these books and am glad that I found them all together so I was able to seamlessly read through the entire series. I would like for Moody to continue this series along maybe with Elmo becoming the new associate paster at First Church and then (at a later date) becoming the senior pastor at First Church or at another church. The potential for more books is there but there is also enough of a closure at the end of this one to satisfy your needs. If you are part of the leadership of any church I highly recommend this book.
review 2: This series, written from a 1st person POV, traced the maturity of a young seminary intern to a pastor in a large church, dependent on God. The short chapters and lighthearted writing made it an easy, recreational read for my busy schedule. I really enjoyed this series. The plot was light, and fairly predictable, but what I liked was the character development. The theology came through without being preachy. I found myself having devotions through this book without even realizing it. less
