Ben Patterson is a great guy. He became the college pastor at Westmont College the year after I graduated from Westmont. I enjoyed getting to know Ben a bit as we were in the same church for my first year and a half after college (before I moved to the Bay Area), during which time I took part in Ben's Wednesday morning Psalm-praying sessions (this book by Ben will give you the gist of Ben's heart for the Psalms and prayer).Two messages from Ben meant a lot to me when I first listened to them 4 years ago. This past weekend I listened to these messages again and I appreciate them even more. As I re-listened to these messages I kept thinking that every pastor friend of mine would love these messages. Give them a listen.1. Hanging on For the Eighth Year, delivered in 19932. Courage in Christian Ministry, delivered in 2000
