In this book, Charles Bridges examines the different facets of pastoral ministry. He first sets out its nature and necessity, then he presents the requirements and challenges associated with it. The author constantly emphasizes the impact of the personal piety of the minister of the Gospel on his pastoral duties, and he leads pastors to understand the importance of applying themselves first to prayer and to the ministry of the Word (Acts 6.4 ).
Reflections on Pastoral Ministry is Charles Bridges' best-known book. When it was first published in 1829, it was over 700 pages long. A few years later, the text was abridged and translated into French. This easier-to-read book briefly outlines Bridges's thinking on pastoral ministry. It will reignite your passion for your role as a shepherd and motivate you to lead the people in your church toward holiness.
