One in a Thousand: The Calling and Work of a Pastor

Viac o knihe

This book is a gem. It is a distillation of a life-time's experience in the pastoral ministry and passion for training pastors. It should be prescribed reading in every seminary preparing men for ministry. He begins with an explanatory chapter: 'What is a Pastor?' Every page is saturated with Scripture: the first two of the 8 biographical sketches making up the body of the book are straight from the Bible: the Chief Shepherd, the Compassionate Servant described in Isaiah, and Paul, the pastoral theologian. The front cover picture shows the Wartburg Castle, where Luther was protected from his enemies while he completed his translation of the Bible into German. Book jacket.
