Excellent!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This resource is an excellent guide for pastors and congregations that are about to or have called a new pastor. Oswald's images of what ministry looks like over the first few months of ministry (i.e. being a lover and a historian) are vital guides for pastor and people. Highly suggested.
