Discerning Your Call to Ministry

10 Questions to Help You DecideIf you are considering the ministry, there are two mistakes you must avoid. The first is taking up a calling that isn't yours. The second is neglecting one that is. "Discerning Your Call to Ministry" will help you know the difference. A tool for seminary students, pastors-in-training, and even current pastors, it serves to confirm or prompt deep thought about the calling to ministry through 10 probing questions, including: Do you desire the ministry? Does your church affirm your calling? Are you willing to surrender? Author Jason Allen, a former pastor and the president of North America's fastest growing seminary, offers an honest look at the pastorate and what it takes to be in ministry. Presenting a series of diagnostic questions informed by Scripture, church history, and his own experience, he helps those seeking ordination or ministry positions make confident decisions about their service to God, one way or the other."
