Pastoring
One of the best and most comprehensive books ever written on the work of the ministry.
Christian Ministry, with an Inquiry into the Causes of Its Inefficiency by Charles Bridges
|
Living and writing at a time of great religious and social upheaval in England, Richard Baxter was nonetheless known throughout the land as a man of peace, trying to help both sides during the English Civil War, and finding himself at odds with both at well. A true advocate of the Protestant Reformation, Baxter used The Reformed Pastor to encourage a life of transparency and responsibility for those called to holy orders. Still, his goal is not to lambast, but to inspire and provoke great insight for men of the cloth who seeks to serve their God and their congregration.
The Reformed Pastor by Richard Baxter
|
This world is full of distractions, and a pastor's life is no different. With church politics, staffing issues, volunteer programmes and no end of other issues popping up, it can be difficult to keep focus. In this tremendous little book, William Still reminds us that the pastor's main thing is feeding the sheep - i.e. the ministry of the Word. It has become a modern classic on preaching and pastoral ministry.

Political Visions & Illusions: A Survey & Christian Critique of Contemporary Ideologies by David T. Koyzis
"Definitely the best book I've read on the current state of political thinking happening among evangelicals in 2020. Evangelicals fused social thinking to political ideology giving themselves over to at least four major ideologies, none of them biblical."

The End for Which God Created the World by Jonathan Edwards (source)
"Ok, this one has updated modern English. Still not hyperbole--Jonathan Edwards’ The End for Which God Created the World is one of the greatest books I’ve ever. Read this one too!"
|
This complete series of New Testament commentaries edited by John Stott is characterized by a threefold ideal: to expound the biblical text with accuracy, to relate biblical teaching to contemporary life and to be readable. Perfect for Sunday school teachers, small group leaders, seminary and college students and individual Bible readers.
|
The Pillar New Testament Commentary, designed for serious readers of the Bible, seeks above all to make clear the meaning of the text of Scripture as we have it. Writers of the PNTC volumes interact with the most important, informed contemporary debate yet avoid undue technical detail. Their ideal is a blend of rigorous exegesis and exposition, scholarship and pastoral sensitivity, with an eye alert both to biblical theology and to the contemporary relevance of the Bible.
