Editorial Reviews

Austin Tucker writes a practical down-to-earth, nuts-and-bolts book about more aspects of church ministry. If you are just beginning in a life of pastoral ministry, this book is for you. If you have been involved in the pastorate ten years or more, this book is an absolute must-read and re-read.
— Pastor Ken Hornok

Voice

"The strength of this book is that it is earthed in many years of hands-on ministry experience. The book is basically the collected wisdom of one pastors' life-time of ministry. It is by no means ground breaking or scholarly, but could be a useful read for a young pastor who is interested in hearing the reflections and practical ideas of a seasoned pastor."

Vox Reformata

My first reaction was that the book was perhaps targeted more to the new minister, but as I read on, I found myself comparing my own experiences with Tucker's and appreciating his insights to the challenge of being all things to all people. I enjoyed this book and recommend it.
