Description
Author: J. Stephen Yuille
“This book is an accessible and challenging introduction to the pastoral office and its duties as understood by the Puritans. In an age when the notion of office is either downplayed or understood in a confused manner, the Puritans still have the power to speak with force and clarity. Dr. Yuille has done us a great service in producing such a work.”
—Carl R. Trueman, Paul Woolley Professor of Church History, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia
“Rare it is to find a book that pulls together the pastoral wisdom of a Puritan divine like Swinnock and distills it down into manageable units that are easily digestible. But this is precisely what Yuille has done in this volume. He has surveyed one of the best from the golden age of the Puritans, Swinnock, and has extracted the core teaching from this classic writing on pastoral duty. To learn from this divine is to be well-taught in ministerial responsibilities.”
—Steven J. Lawson, senior pastor, Christ Fellowship Baptist Church, Mobile, Alabama
