In Pastoral Essentials from the Pastoral Epistles: An Expositional Guide, R. Scott Pace has prepared a feast of wisdom on pastoral ministry from the ample pantry of Paul's letters to Timothy and Titus. By walking through these letters chapter by chapter he offers readers nourishment to strengthen them for the diverse challenges of pastoral ministry. Pace addresses the gospel as the foundation of ministry, the qualifications of the minister, suffering and endurance, the central importance of faithful preaching, and much more—all rooted in careful, expositional, and thoughtful assessment of the inspired text.

Seminarians and current pastors alike will come away from this book refreshed and filled for further service to their churches.
