How to Stay Christian in Seminary

Christian Living

“Seminary students are called to live all of life before the face of God with application to their lives and future ministries. This devotional way of living means drinking deeply of both gospel grace and gospel truth with humble awareness of their dependence on the Holy Spirit inside and outside of the classroom. I highly commend this insightful book as must reading for present and prospective seminary students to gain this biblical perspective on seminary training. I would encourage seminary students everywhere to re-read this book at the beginning of each semester and pray that God would use this resource to help them take hold of Christ and his heart for their seminary experience.”

Not So with You

Church Leadership & Ministry

“The alarming number of high-profile ministry failures involving abuse of power continues to increase. While many helpful books have been written, we have needed a comprehensive multi-voice resource to guide us through the landmines. Not So With You is the book we have been hoping for that gives both deep biblical and theological insights and extremely helpful pastoral and practical applications The multiple voices are thoughtful, strong, balanced, biblical, gospel-centered, and focused on Christ.”

The Politics of Ministry

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Written by my three friends and colaborers, Burns, Chapman, and Guthrie share a combined one hundred years of negotiating ministry in the trenches. They present rich substance, timely practical resources and case studies for applying biblical theology into the challenges of daily ministry. All for the sake of the health and mission of Christ's church. This book will help us in seminaries to more effectively prepare pastors and leaders to face future challenges in ministry with realistic hope. It will also be a tool to sustain them as they grow in wise stewardship of people, power, interests, and negotiation wherever God calls them.”

What Great Ministry Leaders Get Right

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In a time when a growing number of ministry leaders are getting it wrong and sowing great harm in the church, What Great Ministry Leaders Get Right is a welcome, timely, well-researched, comprehensive, and much-needed resource. Dodd and van der Riet destroy the ministry idol of leaders appearing to have it all together and restore a biblical understanding of whole-life discipleship and servant leadership deeply rooted in the gospel and example of Jesus. As president of a seminary seeking to equip students with this ethos and practice, I heartily recommend it as an outstanding tool for students before, during, and after their time in seminary.”
