Synopsis

Decide if the call to ministry is your fate, not your choice.

This book examines what it means to be drawn into the preacher’s life by a higher calling, not by personal ambition. It offers guidance on recognizing a genuine vocation, shaped by circumstance, conscience, and divine invitation.

Through reflections inspired by biblical examples and personal experience, the text helps readers see how a true calling differs from a chosen career. It emphasizes inner constraint, the importance of real situations, and the need for patience, study, and self-knowledge before preaching. The author discusses practical steps for preparing sermons, staying true to one’s own voice, and cultivating imagination to bring ancient messages to modern life.

• Understand how divine calls can come in different ways and fit each person uniquely.
• Learn to balance scholarship, personal intuition, and historical imagination in preaching.
• Discover why patience, preparation, and humility matter more than publicity or numbers.
• Explore the risks of over-organization and self-promotion within church life.

Ideal for readers of religious history, pastoral practice, and spiritual formation who want a grounded, thoughtful approach to answering the ministry’s call.

In the course of these lectures I am to speak on the general theme of "The Preacher: his life and work." There is little or no need of introduction. The only prefatory word I wish to offer is this. I have been in the Christian ministry for over twenty years. I love my calling. I have a glowing delight in its services.
