For the Work of the Ministry

William G. Blaikie’s ‘For the Work of the Ministry’ is a vocational road-map for theological students and newly ordained pastors. Blaikie covers sermon preparation, pastoral visitation, church administration, and personal spirituality, always keeping the eternal destiny of souls in view. The chapters are salted with anecdotes from Scottish parish life and warmed by the author’s own love for Christ’s flock. A vintage mentor whose voice still steers young shepherds away from fashionable shortcuts and toward the enduring means of grace.
