It is a high calling to serve the people of God, and a hard one in a world where the people being served live and breathe secularism. Pastors need wisdom, encouragement and guidance for that, and this book is written to supply it.

William Edgar, R. Kent Hughes and Alfred Poirier bring their experience to bear on three fronts: how secularism has worked its way into the culture and the arts and what a Christian response looks like, how a pastor prayerfully builds a message that moves his congregation, and how souls are actually cared for. Three long essays rather than a survey, and the better for it.
