Author Daryn Dawes’s New Book, "Pastor in the Pasture," is a Fascinating Exploration of Life Lessons Learned from the Author’s Work as Both a Farmer and Preacher

Mount Vernon, OH, January 16, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Daryn Dawes, a loving husband and father of three as well as a pastor and an aspiring farmer who is committed to learning lessons from the farm and sharing them from the pulpit, has completed his new book, “Pastor in the Pasture”: a transformative journey of faith, farming, and spiritual growth, reflecting on how the author has found a way to inform his life as a preacher through lessons learned while running his farm.

“God has always taught his people the biggest lessons of life through a variety of ways,” writes Dawes. “Farming has become one of the ways God has used to teach this unlikely farmer some of life’s most important lessons. Through a series of unexpected events, God decided to take a pastor and place him in the pasture. While in the pasture, this pastor had to learn to care for animals. He had to learn how to make hay. While he was learning how to farm, ultimately, he was learning something so much more valuable; he was learning about life. While this pastor was in the pasture, he learned about trust, worry, relationships, failure, and patience. Who knew you could learn so much from sheep, goats, and peacocks?

“This book is not a ‘how-to’ book for farmers; it is more like a how-not-to-farm book. Rather, this book is a collection of the stories and experiences, many failures, and few successes that I have had as a pastor while starting a farm. Behind each and every story is a lesson that God wants his people to learn. So for the past several years, I have taken the lessons learned in the pasture and shared them from the pulpit in my church. Now I want to share those lessons with you. I hope that you will follow along with the pastor in the pasture and see what God wants to teach you.”
