Ministers, in our age, are expected to be jacks–of–all–trades. However important administration, committee work, counselling, and relationship building may be, the pastor’s public ministry in the preaching of the Word and leading of public worship and prayer are fundamental. With years of experience, and practical wisdom, Terry L. Johnson guides pastors to think through each of the key aspects of public worship. If you are just starting out in ministry, or have been serving the Lord for many years, a prayerful reading of this book will be of great benefit to your ministry, and your congregation.

Not only will pastors be helped by this excellent little book but so too will sessions and church members who may need reminding what precisely it is that pastors are called and ordained to do.

Pastor, Covenant Presbyterian Church, Harrisonburg, Virginia
Johnson offers some of the most practical advice anywhere on public prayer … I particularly appreciated his emphasis on how public prayer should utilize the language of Scripture, noting that one ought no more to pray without preparation than to preach without preparation. We greatly need this book.

… the kind of book that every seminary student should read before beginning his ministry and a ready reminder to serving pastors of the deep significance of what they do every Lord’s Day in leading people in their corporate engagement with God.
