The Broadman Minister's Manual is meant to be used as a companion to the Bible and the Hymnbook. It alone may be adequate for use in certain services, such as in some weddings and funerals, but is not meant to be a substitute which may be read from the Bible itself. The book is outline by sections so that the materials desire may be easily located. It's purpose is to provide aid for ministers and others responsible for leading in worship, administering church ordinances, and for a general visitation ministry and counseling.
