Filled with numerous Biblical references and examples of blessings and prayers, "Ministry: A Handbook for Teachers and Preachers" takes an in-depth look at preaching and is a well-written manual for those in the ministry or those who aspire to become a leader. Mr. Tompkins writes about how to structure and present an effective sermon. In addition to knowing the Bible, the deliverer must also be able to extract the essential message and prepare a sermon that the listener can relate to. He equates delivering the sermon to that of giving a sales pitch - once the critical point is made, close the deal. If a minister tries to present all of his knowledge during a sermon, some of those followers may tune out. However, he warns to not try and make the Bible fit the message, but rather let the message come from the Bible. Whether you are a new preacher, or a ministerial student or an experienced pastor, you sometimes look for a sermon idea, outline, illustration, poem or a bit of Bible trivia to make it interesting. You may want help with marriage or grief counseling, or a new idea on how to do a baby dedication. You may want to teach others how to preach, or take a refresher course yourself. It is all in this book by Glenn C. Tompkins, Th.D.

This review is from: MINISTRY - A handbook for preachers and teachers (Paperback)
Hi Friends,
I have been in full-time ministry for over 35 years. Where was this book when I started? I don't care if you are new to ministry or if you have been involved in it for a long time, this is a must have book. It comes from a man who has many years of experience, knowledge and wisdom and he shares it here. Save yourself a lot of time learning the practical how to of ministry by buying this book. I'm sure you will agree with me that it is worth far more than what you paid for it. [...]
