Description
Book SynopsisLiving a life of Christian service is tough. Quite rightly we can have big hopes for what can be done and dealing with discouragement and disappointment when these dreams shatter can be a painful experience. Michael Milton has a real heart for those who are beginning that work, this heart comes out in brief, honest, penetrating letters that are gold for a pastor just starting out, and remain tremendously helpful to the rest of us, as we seek to serve Christ in our daily lives.
Trade Review...the personal warmth and pastoral overtones make this volume appealing and helpful.

...here is a modern version of C. H. Spurgeon's Lectures To My Students...they should be read by every pastor, those studying for ministry, and those who care for ministers.

Mike Milton is a pastor to pastors...I am so grateful that now, in these letters, he has distilled that wisdom for a whole new generation of pastors.

...quickens the minds and warms the hearts of all who would serve Christ's Church...contains a timeless message-a message which warmed even this old pastor's heart.
-- Thomas D. Hawkes
... full of wonderful nuggets... this short and readable book would obviously be an encouraging read for someone heading off to theological college or investigating pastoral ministry. However, there are also extremely helpful reminders for those already along the path of ministry... this book is a wondeful plea for the power of letter writing in ministry, which may find us reaching for our fountain pens!
