"As a minister with twenty-four years of pastoral experience, I wish I'd had this book at the outset of my ministry. As a seminary professor, I wish all my students had this book at the outset of their ministries."
- Dr. Don Whitney, Associate Professor of Spiritual Formation, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City, MO
"Written with the conscientious evangelical pastor in mind, this is an excellent resource for new ministers. Here are helpful letters concerning the multiple tasks demanded of the pastor, whether in the home, in the study, or behind the pulpit. Each letter has been written by an experienced pastor with a hot heart and a keen mind, and each letter ends with a list of suggested resources on that particular subject. I only wish such wise counsel had been available in written form during my tumultuous first pastorate!"
- Dr. Malcolm B. Yarnell, III, Assistant Dean for Theological Studies, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, TX

Tom Ascol has given every man in vocational ministry a wonderful gift. "Dear Timothy" is a collection of letters to young ministers by seasoned, godly pastors. Among the contributors are C.J. Mahaney, Mark Dever, Ray Ortlund, and Ligon Duncan. Give this as a gift to a young man considering vocational ministry. As someone who has been serving in the church for over 20 years however I still find the insights in this wonderful book to be refreshing and challenging. |
