“This is a good and much-needed book on a subject that, though clearly laid out in Scripture, has been too often neglected and over-looked. Every pastor or prospective pastor will benefit from reading and considering it.”

“The chapters that address, with charity and grace, the behavior of the pastor’s children are worth the price of the book alone. Pastors, I commend this to you.”

Brian CroftExecutive Director, Practical Shepherding

“This is an essential book for your church’s leadership team and should be a required text in pastoral studies at Christian colleges and seminaries.”

Daniel DarlingDirector, Land Center for Cultural Engagement, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

“I opened this book with some trepidation because I dislike being berated or barraged with instructions. Instead, I found encouragement laid out in a clear, biblical portrait of a faithful father and pastor—the kind I would like to be. ... I would recommend this book to any young or aspiring pastor and elder.”

Barnabas PiperPastor, Immanuel Church, Nashville

“This book should be a required training tool for preparing future pastoral elders.”
