These lectures dealing with the challenge, hazards and responsibilities of the Christian ministry are presented with the hope that they may show some new vista, encourage redoubled effort or lend companionship to a colleague who finds the way lonely. Here are insights and observations for seminary students and ministers regarding: Personal Study; Church Administration; Attitudes; Sermon Construction and Contents; Voice and Mannerisms; Appearance, Evangelistic Work; Counseling; Community Activities; Interdenominational Cooperation; Missionary Emphasis; Patience in Meeting Problems; Plans and Procedures for Ceremonials; Discipline of Emotions; Discipline of the Will; Discipline of the Mind; Discipline of Conduct. The book goes on to discuss the inadequacies of the minister in resources, human relations, time and training and the helps which are available.
