Pentecostal Pastor: A Mandate for the 21st Century

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.
