Seasoned pastor, Terry L. Johnson, shares practical wisdom for pastors to help them prioritise their public ministry. Includes foreword by Ligon Duncan.

Ministers, in our age, are expected to be jacks–of–all–trades. However important administration, committee work, counselling, and relationship building may be,

the pastor’s public ministry in the preaching of the Word and leading of public worship and prayer are fundamental.

The Bible lays out specific qualifications for elders and deacon. The gospel is guarded by requiring those who hold public office to have high standards of knowledge,

character, and conduct. Terry Johnson lays out that, if this is true for “lay”

leadership, how much more important for those called to ministry.

With years of experience, and practical wisdom, Terry L. Johnson guides pastors to think through each of the key aspects of public worship.

If you are just starting out in ministry, or have been serving the Lord for many years, a prayerful reading of this book will be of great benefit to your ministry, and your congregation.
