Sally U. Smith's book, Pit Crew, spends 240 pages comparing a NASCAR driver and his pit crew to a pastor and his praying congregation. She compares a driver running out of fuel to an overworked pastor that does spend enough time alone with God. She has specific suggestions of how to pray for pastor for each day of the week, such as personal walk, pastoral roles of caregiver, prophet, leader and more. She talks about how drivers need to be physically fit. The pit crew handles tires, gas cans, etc. so they need to be physically fit too, so the owner provides exercise equipment.
She does not leave out the family needs and how the people praying can support them. Road blocks, like tire fragments on the racetrack, are identified such as inconsistency and lack of discipline.
She ends by given ideas how to begin a prayer group for the pastor.
If your prayers for the pastor are sounding repititous, this is the book for you. It is available on Amazon Kindle and on Google Books as ebooks. You can also get in paperback for a higher cost.
