As the Second Coming of Jesus approaches, the days are getting darker, and pastors,
who often lead the Lord’s army on the front lines, are finding their duties increasingly
challenging as they battle Satan’s intricate plans against human souls in this era of
intense spiritual warfare. In his thoroughly researched Christian book Pastors! The Time
Has Come: Let’s Take It! Pastor Leonard Roy Harris offers crucial encouragement for
pastors who aspire to make a difference on earth in these latter days while also
reminding them of their special calling and what God expects of them.

Harris begins by telling pastors that in their fight against Satan, they must keep a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who he refers to as the Living Word and their
Commander in Chief. He also stresses they must rely on God’s written word since it is
the sole source of information and direction that may help them get beyond the
numerous spiritual challenges they face daily. He additionally highlights the early
disciples’ reliance on prayer and the incredible power God gave them to execute their
mandate – power that pastors can also have access to today.

Harris makes a strong case throughout the book on the importance of holiness, what it
takes for pastors to achieve their intended goals, and the benefits of their tenacity and
commitment. In addition, he strongly reminds pastors while they strive to fulfill their
obligation to spread the gospel to the rest of the world, their personal salvation is just as
essential. His words demonstrate his earnest desire for a capable and committed group
of Christian workers who will diligently and empathetically tend to God’s children till the
end of time, no matter how challenging or uncertain days may turn.

Pastors! The Time Has Come: Let’s Take It! is scripturally founded and the result of
decades of pastoral experience. It gives an all-encompassing view of a pastor’s life,
including its highs and lows, the persecutions involved, and what God sees and intends
of a pastor. Its concepts are wonderfully expressed, transcend conventional wisdom,
and are sure to inspire readers in unexpected ways.

As a pastor myself, reading this book made me feel that every page offered important
reminders and enlightening facts that pastors and congregations alike should
understand. “God’s Charge to Me” and “Listen to what the Spirit is saying to you about
your Pastoral Ministry and the Church he has set you over!” are examples of some of
the subjects the author discusses that resonated with me.

Ultimately, Pastors! The Time Has Come: Let’s Take It! by Pastor Leonard Roy Harris is
a nuanced and powerful compendium that captures relevant themes in the Church
today. This book is an indispensable resource for pastoral work for the Body of Christ,
or Christians from all backgrounds, but particularly for those who are called to serve
God in different ministries.
