good foundational book

I thought that this was a very good all around start for someone who is just getting into ministry. It is laid out nicely, in a contemporary fashion, even though the content was traditional. I had expected more unique ideas and suggestions. Overall, it was well worth purchasing.

The Perfect Tool for a Busy Pastor

The authors have thought of everything. The busy pastor need only flip and find what he's looking for. It is not a resource to copy, but a resource that helps you think through things that you may not have even thought about. It is a resource for covering all of your bases whether it be for a funeral, a wedding, a dedication, or a special event like an ordination. Highly recommended!!
