Publisher's Description

In 7 Lessons for New Pastors, leading author Matthew D. Kim gives seminarians and new pastors a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a pastor. Drawing on his own experience as a senior pastor and the wisdom of seasoned pastors, Kim seeks to prepare future ministers mentally, emotionally, physically, relationally, and spiritually for the first year so that it can be a solid foundation for a lifetime of effective ministry. Both new and experienced pastors will profit from reading this book. This second edition is revised and expanded, including questions for personal or group reflection and two bonus mini-lessons.

Scott M. Gibson

“I’m thankful for Matthew Kim’s 7 Lessons for New Pastors. Matthew is a wise, patient, sympathetic guide. His counsel is practical, down-to-earth, and rooted in personal experience. I’m currently reading through the book with a ministry intern and we’re finding that the book stimulates many helpful discussions.”

Stephen Witmer

“In 7 Lessons for New Pastors, my friend and colleague Dr. Matthew D. Kim has written a book that will inspire, challenge, and empower a new generation of leaders called by God to ministry in the local church. Honest and vulnerable, accessible and concise, infused with practical know-how and deep reflection, this book is a must-read for every new pastor or seminarian in training. What a gift to the church and the classroom!”
