Preventing Ministry Failure combines an updated version James Guthrie’s A Humble Acknowledgement of the Sins of the Ministry (1651), together with extracts from James Durham’s Commentary on Revelation that come together to emphasize the necessity of pastoral holiness and the encouragement Christ provides to serve Him well. The result is a guide for pastors to openly discuss their common failings that also holds out hope for putting things right. Beyond updating the language, the editors have added Bible verses to assist in meditation as well as questions to stimulate reflection and discussion. Here is help, encouragement, and counsel for ministers to shine in the midst of the prevailing darkness.
