Equipped For Good Work

The pastor is the key. Recognizing that as a fact of life in the typical church program, Dr. Joseph H. Cothen, a pastor for more than quarter of a century, and professor of pastoral work at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, presents in these pages a valuable guide to a purposeful, constructive ministry. Abounding with insight, encouragement, helpful guidelines, and practical suggestions, this volume draws upon a lifetime of on-the-job observations and experiences in addressing problems, questions, and situations that on occasion confront every church and ministry. Dr. Cothen, who has held pastorates in cities all over the South, including New Orleans, earned his doctor of theology degree from the New Orleans Theological Seminary in 1955. His previous work, a unique Christmas story called Come to Bethlehem: The Christmas Story, is also available from Pelican.Read less
