The Christian Ministry is Bridges' best known literary work, but his expositions of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Psalm 119 are also highly valued.
Bridges begins by considering the general and personal cause of ministerial ineffectiveness, and goes on to examine comprehensively preaching and pastoral work. This book was one of the few which the godly Robert Murray M'Cheyne took with him to the Holy Land, and, in its field, it is without an equal.

Editorial Reviews
About the Author
Educated at Queen's College, Cambridge, Bridges was ordained in 1817. As a preacher he was called upon for such important occasions as the Clerical Conference at Weston-super-Mare in 1858 (when he preached along with J. C. Ryle) and the consecration of the Bishop of Carlisle in York Minster in l860.
Renowned though he was in his own day for his pulpit ministry, his subsequent fame rests in the books which came from his pen An Exposition of Psalm CXIX (1827), Forty-eight Scriptural Studies (5th ed. 1833), Fifty-four Scriptural Studies (1837), An Exposition of the Book of Proverbs (1846), a Manual for the Young (1849), and An Exposition of the Book of Ecclesiastes (1860). His The Christian Ministry went through nine editions within 20 years of its appearance in 1829 and has probably remained unequalled in its field. These works earned high commendation from many, including C. H. Spurgeon, who described all Bridge s writings as 'very suggestive to ministers.'
After his death a small selection of his correspondence was published in book form in 1870 and it reveals a man of deep Christian piety. 'I never remember anyone,' says the writer of the Foreword to The Christian Ministry, 'in whose presence it was more difficult to be irreligious, or even frivolous.'

This book has to be read at least twice to get a sense of what true, authentic Christian ministry actually is -- in these times we have too much frivolity. There will be much that will be highlighted, underlined and re-read. Do yourself a favour and get this book if you are being called into the ministry -- it's absolutely invaluable and a solid reference book.
This book gets marked down for the above shortcomings, but it is nonetheless a quality book for those in church leadership. I was specifically challenged in the areas of preaching, intercessory prayer, and personal interaction with the members of the church. You will likely skim through a few portions that are not pertinent to you, but the rest you will find richly encouraging as you seek to grow in the leadership of God's people.
