Books with title The Christian Ministry

Charles Bridges (1794 - 1869) was a theologian and preacher in the Church of England and a contemporary of J.C. Ryle. Though he is known for his 'Exposition of Psalm 119,' he is best known for his book 'The Christian Ministry.'In this practical exploration of this important topic, Bridges masterfully discusses any and all aspects of the Christian ministry. For example, how to discern one's calling, how to study well, how to spiritually prepare for the important task of shepherding God's flock, and even how to minister to hard cases who are in need of guidance.This book definitely belongs at the top of any list for pastors or potential pastors to read.This eBook edition of The Christian Ministry by Charles Bridges is based on the 1844 sixth edition of the book, published by Seeley, Burnside and Seeley. Changes have been made to the formatting of the text - in particular an active table of contents has been added and the footnotes and editors' notes have been removed in order to promote a more fluid reading experience.

The revival of the Church seems to be closely connected with the condition of its ministry. Bridges sub-titled the study of the Christian Ministry, 'An Inquiry into the Causes of its Inefficiency', and, rightly used, it is well suited to promote a faithful and effective ministry.The Christian Ministry is Bridges' best known literary work, but his expositions of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Psalm 119 are also highly valued.Bridges begins by considering the general and personal cause of ministerial ineffectiveness, and goes on to examine comprehensively preaching and pastoral work. This book was one of the few which the godly Robert Murray M'Cheyne took with him to the Holy Land, and, in its field, it is without an equal.

As the novelist of Flash and Filigree and The Magic Christian and cowriter of Dr. Strangelove and Easy Rider, Terry Southern helped define the sixties. Now, sixty years later, his dark humor and biting satire of American society and all its corruption, sex, money, status, power, and stardom, takes on new relevance. When Dwight Garner reviewed the anniversary edition of Southern’s Candy in the New York Times he pointed to its significance in today’s political climate, stating that “Candy works in the era of #MeToo in part because it so coyly subverts the male gaze. The men who leer after Candy are truly fatuous primates, fit for little but gibbering at the moon.” In this 60th anniversary edition of The Magic Christian, we have another searing Southern comic novel―this one a story of a mayhem-making billionaire, and a reminder of just how entrenched American greed and corruption is in our history. Sir Guy Grand is determined to create disorder in the material world and willing to spare no expense to do it. His ultimate goal is to prove his theory that there is nothing so degrading or so distasteful that someone won’t do for money. A satire of America’s obsession with bigness, toughness, TV, guns, and money, The Magic Christian is a hilarious and wickedly original novel from a true comic genius.
