Description
*Condition Note: Book is very gently used and clean.*
From the rich treasury of Ellen White's pen, the compilers of this book have woven a fine tapestry of Ellen White's writings dealing with the joys, challenges, and trials of the local church pastor. The book attempts to be a complete and balanced--if not exhaustive--compilation of her statements regarding the function of the pastor. The topics cover everything from the minister's personal devotional life to ministerial ethics, health, and time management. It's a reference book that all pastors and elders should own.
