Seminarians Don’t Blow Stuff Up is a humorous and honest look inside seminary life, with meaningful and fruitful reflections to help prospective pastors, current clergy, and lay persons ponder how best to share God’s love with and within the church. From seminarians actually blowing stuff up and making babies, to encounters with wild baboons and bull elephants, turmoil at the seminary magazine and failed romantic relationships, you’ll get it all and come away with a smile on your face and a deeper hope and trust in God.
