"For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as LORD, with ourselves as your servantsfor Jesus sake.For God who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness, 'Has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of Godin the face of Jesus Christ.But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing powerbelongs to God and not to us."II Corinthians 4:5-7
Fired by the passion to take the message of the gospel beyond the walls of the church, Jerry Cook challenges Christians to reconsider their role in society. Jerry Cook emphasizes that the church on Monday operates in the experience of the non-believer where the greatest impact for God can occur. He encourages Christians to consider themselves strategically placed by Jesus Christ to go to the non-believer rather than having them come to God. Drawing from the book of Ephesians, he challenges traditional thinking of how ministry occurs and what the church should be while presenting an exciting new paradigm of living for Christ.

Both pastors and local churches in today's America are facing unprecedented challenges. Church attendance continues to decline, with the average evangelical church now at 80. The reasons are multi- faceted--COVID-19, a growing anti-Christian sentiment, and of course, Satan, who is the Church's most formidable enemy. However, many leave local churches due to in-house issues that often go unidentified and overlooked. Monday Morning Preacher discusses forty potential reasons, most of them not talked about in Bible schools or seminaries. Pastors are often left to navigate troubled waters alone and unsure. Churches in general need a heads-up regarding the many potentially problematic issues that surface, and that precipitate back door exits. Like Monday morning quarterbacks, who review their post- game strategies, pastors need to revisit their Sunday morning service on Monday to celebrate their wins, and to identify potential in-house issues that need wise and righteous attention. To identify and righteously confront these issues will mean healthier churches, where perpetuity is assured. Every pastor--inexperienced or seasoned--can benefit from Monday Morning Preacher and hopefully avoid some of the pitfalls that confront all pastors at some time during their ministry. The chapters are brief and insightful, all followed by questions that provide additional food for thought. Pertinent observations and solutions are based on churches of less than two hundred. However, all pastors, other church leaders, and congregants can benefit from these insights that follow forty-three years of pastoral ministry. The evangelical world needs to read Monday Morning Preacher!
