"For a succinct, wise, all-round volume on homiletical and pastoral theology, a theological student or minister could not do better than read Blaikie's For the Work of the Ministry. Even the appendices are packed with wisdom This reprint is long overdue." - Joel R. Beeke, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary "My personal favorite book for pastors is William Blaikie's For the Work of the Ministry. How I rejoice that this outstanding manual of homiletics and pastoral theology is finally being reprinted Blaikie offers a brilliant overview of everything from the nature of and call to the ministry to Supplementary Hints on subjects like visitation of the sick, home mission work, and evangelistic movements. His advice on everything from pastoral care of the young to fulfilling pastoral engagements and meetings is full of mature wisdom which is as applicable today as it was over a century ago." - William Shishko, Pastor, Franklin Square, NY
