There are a lot of long quotes from he puritans in this book. It does have some helpful guidance for today's pastors; however, it feels like the modern gets dwarfed by quotes from long ago. With the main title advertising help for "today's" pastors, I would have liked much more emphasis on pastoring today. This doesn't mean there are not a lot of gems in this book.

There are a lot of long quotes from he puritans in this book. It does have some helpful guidance for today's pastors; however, it feels like the modern gets dwarfed by quotes from long ago. With the main title advertising help for "today's" pastors, I would have liked much more emphasis on pastoring today. This doesn't mean there are not a lot of gems in this book.
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
