"I wish I could have read this book when I was just starting out in ministry. This personal, practical volume will serve as a valuable guide for many young pastors, and quite a few older ones too."--Kevin DeYoung, senior pastor of University Reformed Church; author of Crazy Busy: A (Mercifully) Short Book about a (Really) Big Problem

"Where was this book when I was first ordained? Ultrapractical and stuffed full of timeless wisdom, this is a book I will recommend often and reread regularly."-- Tim Challies, author ofThe Next Story; pastor of Grace Fellowship Church
