Ministry, I thought i was ready! Jamie S Gordon

This book is a must read for every minister and church leader, whether young or old. The seminary can never fully prepare the minister to shoulder the enormous call to lead God's people. There are some practical lessons that the classroom cannot teach, but only experience can. This book seeks to give the minister a heads up and some solid pointers to make the transition into ministry as smooth as possible. This books also allow the most seasoned minister to not become complacent as it challenges the minister to grow and produce optimum service. This book consists of four main sections namely: 1. My early life leading up to my call to ministry 2. Practical nuggets unearthed from my early experiences in ministry. 3. Letters to the church membership, voicing some of the things ministers wished they knew. 4. Recommendations to the seminaries that can help ministers be better prepared to shoulder this supreme calling and responsibility,
