Unique biography of Edward Nathaniel Spirer, an Orthodox Jew who accepted Yeshua (Jesus) as his Messiah in 1921 and became a Lutheran pastor. Combining the carpentry skills learned in his father's construction business and his rich Jewish heritage with the spiritual tools he acquired at seminary, Spirer literally helped build over 60 Lutheran churches in California, Arizona and Hawaii from 1935 to 1983.

What was a nice Jewish boy like Eddie Spirer doing building Lutheran churches? What was he doing preaching in a Lutheran pulpit?

Eddie's Orthodox Jewish relatives certainly pondered such questions, but anyone else who knew the "Little Minister" knew the answer. Although it meant being rejected by his family, Eddie had embraced Y'shua, Jesus Christ, as his personal savior.

From that moment on embarked upon a personal journey that would have him leave his mark on churches and personal lives throughout the Western United States. Eddie was a preacher, a pastor, and a builder. He also was always very Jewish. This unique blend of personality, chutzpah and spirituality marked Eddie Spirer as a man of Go. His story will lighten the hearts of readers and motivate believers to use their gifts to serve Messiah.

The Little Minister is Eddie Spirer's biography told in vivid and engaging detail by master storyteller and retired Lutheran pastor Dr. Ross Hidy.

This special revised edition is a joint project of Jews for Jesus and The Lutheran History Center of the West.
