The Christian Ministry: With an Inquiry Into the Causes of Its Inefficiency (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781396321726)

Wouldn't you like it if you were the reason someone is saved from the depths of hell? More importantly, how would God feel about you if you were the reason one of the lost souls was guided to faith?

In his best literary work, Charles Bridges lays down the foundation of Christian ministry. He displays how to preach for specific kinds of people, how to win their hearts over and inspire their souls to Christian faith.

With so many non-believers spreading nowadays, here's what senior pastor Alistair Begg says about this book:

"This book has been my companion for almost fifty years. First published in 1830, it is arguably more needed now than then."

"To enlighten the mind and affect the heart are the two main ends of the Christian ministry. The first demands wisdom and plainness, the second fervency, as the spirit of scriptural preaching. This combination exhibits the minister as "a burning and a shining light" ... imparting the spiritual light of divine truth, as well as the spiritual heat of divine fervor. Nothing is more indecent than a dead preacher speaking to dead sinners the living truth of the living God."
