Pastoral Cautions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986447964)

In Pastoral Cautions, Abraham Booth offers eleven cautions for pastors entering the ministry-cautions as relevant today as when he first preached them. A pastor for thirty-seven years, Booth speaks with lived insight into the joys and challenges of pastoral ministry. He has the brassy clarity of a prophet-mincing no words, cutting to the heart, and exposing every attempt at false piety. Yet for all the sharpness of his words, they also bind up and heal. Both those serving as pastors and those aspiring to the ministry would do well to read and pray through these cautions, asking whether there is not something in themselves that calls for repentance.
