Called To Pastor - Paperback

by Gene Hodges (Author)

This book has been written for pastors, students, teachers, and anyone else feeling called to do church ministry. The words are simple to understand; the subject matter is not exhaustive but will serve in getting the reader to think about the subject and hopefully stir up a greater need for answers.

Throughout my lifetime of doing pastoral ministry, I have continuously looked for ministry help like the information included in this book. I have watched many of my fellow pastors struggle while doing church ministry. These pastors could have used some of the information in the book. While serving as director of missions, I could have used a book like this as well to share with my church pastors as they were challenged over and over to serve more effectively.

Just as I have been accused of preaching short messages, I have been accused of preaching short messages that are filled with so many truths, the recipients had to have more time to digest what was said. The question posed many times would be, "How can you say so much in such a short time?" I believe this book will connect with those who need these ministry truths and want more to digest. The content is not so long, but it is filled with food for thought and answers many questions that need answering for those doing church ministry.

This book needs to be in the hands of those preparing to do church ministry. University and seminary students would benefit a great deal from this reading. With this book, students will have a head start in church ministry and can be better prepared for fulfilling their place of service in God's kingdom. The information in the book will help with confidence and competence. Let's get it in their hands!
