A clear, time-tested call to examine the core duties and duties of a minister: what liberty means in ministry and how to answer the call with faithfulness.
This nonfiction discourse speaks to directors, students, and ministers about the heart of pastoral life. It frames the question of ministerial liberty, then grounds it in the personal, inner conviction and the Spirit’s guidance. The book argues that a minister’s true authority comes from fidelity to Scripture, prayer, and a calling shared with God rather than from status, intellect, or expediency.
