I am aware that many in the evangelical church who are not charismatic believe that the Pentecostal movement borders on complete heresy. Many view the Pentecostal church and their pastors as experience based fanatics. If anyone would take time to read THE PENTECOSTAL PASTOR then they would see that this is certainly not the case with the Assemblies of God.

This massive volume weighs in on nearly every subject from prayer to doctrine to expository preaching and teaching to ethics to marriage issues and holiness. This book is great not only for Pentecostal pastors but for all Christians. It offers insights into study habits and many other facets of the normal Christian life. A reading of this book will leave you knowing that the Assemblies of God leaders desire their pastors and teachers to be biblically grounded and to stay focused on the kingdom of God.

A must read!

"The Pentecostal Pastor" touches almost every area imaginable to the pastor/minister. While covering everything in a pastor's life, both professional and personal, this book gives practical information, ideas, and advice for ministers looking for an extra "edge" in their ministry.

The leaders of the Assemblies of God have developed a wonderful resource both for current pastors in the A/G and other Pentecostal denominations and for those studying to be pastors. The book contained many practical insights from A/G leaders, pastors, missionaries, and college professors who have been successful in the fields which they tackle in their writing. It focuses on six important areas: priorities in the pastor's life, the pastor's personal life, revival, accountability, ministry to the body, and spirit-annointed worship. While better editing and organization would have helped, this hefty 600-page book is a wonderful addition to my library.

I don't usually order my text books used. This book new, (at the time I ordered it) was $119. I don't have that kind of money to spend on a text book. I had to order this book used. The book looks new and is in better shape than some of the "new" books (from other sources) I have bought. I am very pleasingly surprised at the condition of this book! Also, I received it 5 days from when I ordered it. I would absolutely recommend "textbooksnow" as a reliable source for buying text books.

This book is so wonderful. I have checked it out from the library about three times and is so wonderfully thorough. Packed with extensive information I have put much of it onto lists to pray for it when interceding for other ministries and my own. This is beyond what can be summed up with five stars stars. Great book!

This book is a collection of articles on varying topics one will deal with in ministry as a Pentecostal pastor. It covers most things very well and backs itself up with scripture. Some of the information can be a little dated. Pastors are no longer considered the business elite and a coat and tie are not necessary in all situations. Perhaps it's time for an updated edition. All in all worth your money and time. Great book to have on the shelf of your study.

Interesting reference book. Typical of the US Pentecostal movement though, it comes from the perspective that the world begins and ends in America. Therefore, buy if American, look elsewhere if from elsewhere in the world.
