The Christian Pastor's Manual: A Selection of Tracts on the Duties, Difficulties, and Encouragements of the Christian Ministry

Godly men from the past, such as Phillip Doddridge, Abraham Booth, John Erskine, Isaac Watts, John Newton, Thomas Scott, John Jennings, and Richard Cecil present a wealth of material for pastors as well as for those training for the ministry. The character, qualifications, and duties of a preacher are emphasized along with the difficulties and snares associated with the office. The priority of preaching Christ faithfully and experientially is held forth, and a chapter is devoted to the proper way to address the unconverted.
