Handle That New Call With Care (Ministering The Master's Way Series)
David CampbellPaperback 2009-06-01
'Should I stay put or should I move on to another sphere of pastoral ministry?'
How frequently a minister may find himself asking this question - and how much does he have to strive in prayer to discern the mind of God who has called him with a holy calling to shepherd his church! Of course, the assumption of the question is that there is a call being extended to a new pastorate. Some men find that they have to wrestle with the question whether they should leave the pastorate altogether - either for a different ministry or in order to retire or to take up some other kind of work.
This helpful little book examines the principles for accepting or declining of a call to a new pastorate and examines them in the light of the Bible, the history of the church and God's providence.
"In this little book, David Campbell has dealt with a theme that is among the most important in any minister's life, yet among the least tackled in pastoral literature: what is a minister to do when a church calls him away from the congregation in which he is currently ministering? By looking at ministerial biographies, David has gleaned important principles and suggestions to guide a minister in this most crucial of all dilemmas. By drawing on his own experience and that of others, he has written a book which will be of immense value in helping ministers recognise God's leading in their lives." - Rev Dr Iain D Campbell, Free Church of Scotland, Isle of Lewis, UK
