This book gathers a diverse group of leading pastors and preachers and asks them: "What is your best advice to colleagues in ministry about preaching and being a pastor?" The responses are full of wisdom and practical advice, illuminating and helpful for all who are pastors and preachers. This book is a unique window into perspectives on ministry in the twenty-first century. It is an ideal book to give to one's pastor or a graduating seminarian. It is one pastors will turn to often for inspiration, insight, and wisdom.
