Description

"WHAT [BOB NORRIS] received as a pastoral gift, he improved as a ministry skill by diligent application. He has few equals as a physician of souls. The wedding of great gifts to great humility is the rarest of combinations. We find just such a conjunction in that rare pastor-teacher in Bob. . . . "This book is thus a primer of sorts. But this book also can guide any church's pastors and elders to take action, to go visiting. This book is thus also an instruction book on visiting: how to do it and how to approach it." -from the Foreword by Pastor Ronnie Stevens I had the privilege of knowing and working with Bob on a gospel team while we were students at Columbia Bible College in the early 1960s. His commitment to the Word and his personal integrity was a real gift of God and played a key role in my preparation as a missionary. Ever since then, he and Anne have been close and precious friends of Carolyn and me. The book Visiting, written with Stephen Imbeau, captures the Bob Norris we have always known; it concisely, with a simple style and some humor, provides an excellent model and historical insight for any local church pastor. JIM FASOLD, retired after serving with Greater Europe Mission in Spain Many pastors are happy for guests to come to church-Bob and Steve took church to the guests. They extended the hospitality of God's generous love outside the walls, off the campus, and into the streets and the homes of people looking for faith, hope, and love in God.
