Bivocational is about a subset of Christian ministers who range in number from an extremely small minority to a nearly unanimous majority depending on church or denominational theology and/or policy regarding how they assign ministers to their churches.

Part I of the book presents three chapters defining Gods call into the ministry, the characteristics of the Gospel ministry, and the unique characteristics of the bivocational ministry. Part II deals with the world of the bivocational minister as it relates to the denomination, the state and local associations, the church leadership, the congregation, other churches, the other job, the community, the family and the bivocational life.
