*Preparation For Ministry* deals with important issues relating to a call to the Christian ministry, theological training, and entry into pastoral work.
The author has written it out of his own rich experience as a student, a pastor, and a seminary teacher. Those contemplating entry into the Christian ministry will benefit greatly from his practical advice on such subjects as coming to faith, the call to the ministry, pre-theological study, and choosing a theological college or seminary.
Those already in theological training or who have recently entered into ministry will also find much to help them within these pages on such topics as the theological course, early ministry, and staying fresh.
A brief bibliography is provided, and the book also contains useful appendices, including:
- a guide to preparatory reading - a short guide to sermon preparation - C H Spurgeon's *The Minister's Self-Watch* - B B Warfield's *The Religious Life of Theological Students*
"Here are first principles for those who wonder if they are being called to the ministry, guidance for those in training, and wisdom for those already engaged in the work. That *Preparation for Ministry* comes from the desk of Allan Harman - Pastor, Professor, and Principal - is all the recommendation it needs. First class!" - Sinclair B Ferguson

This book is very short but to the point. \\nIt has many important insights to questions that are often not discussed often (because the nature of the questions only for a specific subset of Christians). \\nThis can be read in a short time but has the great potential to save one considering the ministry or beginning in the ministry much time by warning the reader of common pitfalls and guiding them to the correct path.
