Reformation Heritage Books.  dw.  432pp.Godly men from the past present a wealth of material for pastors as well as for those training for the ministry. The character, qualifications, and duties of the preacher are emphasized along with the difficulties and snares associated with the office. The priority of preaching Christ faithfully and experientially is held forth as the focal point of pastoral ministry. The Christian Pastorâ s Manual was first published in 1826. Tested by time, it remains a relevant and formative handbook on pastoral ministry.Table of Contents:1.    The Evil and Danger of Neglecting Soulsâ Dr. Phillip Doddridge2.    Preaching Christâ Rev.

In this book, John Brown has gathered choice pastoral wisdom from the evangelical divines of eighteenth-century Brittan on the â duties, difficulties, and encouragements of the Christian ministry.â Writers include Abraham Booth, Philip Doddridge, John Erskine, John Newton, Isaac Watts, and others. John Jenningsâ s chapters, â Preaching Christâ and â Particular and Experimental Preaching,â are alone worth ten times the price of the book, but the entire book is invaluable. The Christian Pastorâ s Manual is the best collection of essays on the ministry that I have ever read. Its chapters are consistently rich; its thoughts are deep, practical, and vigorous. May they be like living seeds planted in the minds of a new generation of ministers and pastors, pressing the roots of truth into their innermost beliefs and affections and producing the fruits of faithfulness in all their lives.â  â Joel R. Beeke, president, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michiganâ The Christian Pastorâ s Manual has my decided and high approval. It is my prayer and my hope that this publication may, by the blessing of God, eminently contribute to prepare for the good work those who have in purpose devoted themselves to it, and to stimulate to renewed earnestness of effort, and self-improvement, and supplication, such as are already engaged in its duties.â  â Ralph Wardlaw (1779â 1853), professor of divinity, Glasgow Theological Academyâ We always think of Brown as a Puritan born out of due time. Everything he has left us is massive gold. He is both rich and clear, profound and perspicuous.â  â Charles H. Spurgeon. N° de ref. del artículo 252606
