From Priest to Pastor

Taking life back into your own hands in midlife is no easy feat. But that is exactly what Mike Phillips has done. In his easy-to-read, emotional and inspiring memoir, the author describes the steps he took to unlearn much of what he was taught as a child and find a way to express his true identity.

"Personal stories are often compelling and worth reading, but what makes "From Priest to Pastor" so special is the unique journey Mike Phillips has experienced in his life. All who are called by God into the ministry must face the cost of surrendering their lives for this "High Calling". Mike discovered in his years in the Roman Catholic priesthood that his growing restlessness was something deeper than his personal challenge of sacrifice but was in fact an encounter with truth through the guidance of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit.

His persistent and courageous commitment to discovering this truth makes his story, with its ultimate glorious, grace-filled ending, a compelling and fascinating read." John Pettifor, Nottingham, 2023.

"Mike Phillips has written a most compelling account of the struggles and successes on his journey from Priest to Pastor. Mike's story is courageous, honest, emotional and humorous. May it be a blessing to others on their own journey to godly change."
