Description
"A minister cannot be confident in his calling without being holy."—James Durham
Faithful pastors recognize their need for self-examination and humble repentance. Preventing Ministry Failure draws from faithful men of the past to provide a thorough guide for today's pastors to openly discuss and repent of their common failings.
Preventing Ministry Failure is an updated version of James Guthrie’s A Humble Acknowledgement of the Sins of the Ministry (1651) combined with extracts from James Durham’s Commentary on Revelation. Beyond updating the language, the editors have added references verses and application questions to stimulate meditation, reflection, discussion. Pastors will enjoy help, encouragement, and counsel as they strive to fulfill their ministries above reproach.
Endorsements
“As a young seminary student with many heavy tomes to work through, my initial relief at the brevity of this title on my reading list was soon replaced by admiration at how so much profound self-examination could be packed into so few pages.”
—From the Foreword by David G. Whitla
