Book Reviews
While this book could be titled Introduction to Ministry 101, the reality is that its greatest value is as a post-graduate course for those who thought seminary prepared them for pastoral work.

American Association of Pastoral Counselors
Here are 101 “pearls of great price”! Some are gems of pastoral wisdom intended for new ministers—like “Be yourself,” “Pick your battles,” “Thank your staff,” “Accept gifts graciously” and “Be kind to your ushers.” Others sparkle with insights worth the price of this book over and over again for clergy at any stage of their ministry. “Always remember that the church you pastor is God’s church, not yours...” “Every complaint is an opportunity...” and “Visit, visit, visit” are maxims every pastoral search committee should put in the hands of their successful candidate on installation day!
