As I read through the chapters of this book I kept saying to myself that this book would be a valuable resource to a young pastor starting out in ministry. E. M. Clark provides a gold mine of practical help in dealing with boards, difficult people, building programs, raising funds, spiritual renewal and revival, etc. Clark's ministry life as pastor, evangelist national executive, district superintendent, and college president give him the credentials to speak with insight to the areas he presents.---Don Argue, Chancellor, Northwest University, Kirkland, Washington. *** Rev. E. M. Clark's book is packed with wisdom gleaned from a lifetime of ministry facing what seemed like impossible challenges as a pastor, evangelist, national church official, district superintendent, and college president. Rev. Clark chronicles the story of his ministry experiences in a delightfully engaging manner, always drawing out the principles from his own life experience that can be helpful to his fellow ministers. The book contains a judicious blend of practical wisdom and theological reflection. E. M. Clark's spiritual well runs deep, and this book allows all of us to drink from the refreshing waters of a life well lived and a ministry full of adventure and godly influence For those facing formidable challenges in ministry or just getting started or studying for the ministry, I heartily recommend that you put this book on your must reading list.--- Murray W. Dempster, past President, Vanguard University of Southern California
