About the Book

This excellent resource for new pastors and seminary students is designed to bridge the gap between the academic world, and the real world of actual ministry. Written by Glyn Norman, a pastor with over 20 years experience, this book will enable the new pastor to avoid the usual pitfalls of ministry, and hit the ground running. Filled with tips to save time and increase effectiveness, implementing any one of them would be worth the price of the book alone. Ideal as a gift for a new pastor, or seminary graduate gift. Chapters include: Chapter 1: Landing Your First Job Chapter 2: Dealing With Expectations Chapter 3: Time Management Chapter 4: Working With Volunteers Chapter 5: Preaching Chapter 6: Counseling Chapter 7: Self-Care Chapter 8: Weddings Chapter 9: Funerals Chapter 10: Hospital Visits Chapter 11: Conflict Testimonials: "Although seminaries drill the budding minister in theology, homiletics and parsing verbs, they generally fall dreadfully short in equipping a neophyte pastor to navigate through the muddled maze of ministry, the minefield of church politics and the daily grind of the mundane. This book is a gold mine of practical, hands-on, and gut-level advice and help for ministers of the gospel. Reading this book before I entered the ministry would have saved me a lot of time, stress and headaches" Richard Chip Kirk, International Minister, Operation Mobilization I have known Glyn for over 20 years. Even as a 'boy' in seminary he was able to speak into situations with refreshing simplicity and clarity. Nothing has changed, except perhaps for a lot more grey hairs caused by the years of ministry experience needed to write this book. If you want to stave off the grey hairs and thrive in ministry, this easy to read book will be worth the investment. Craig Rees, Senior Pastor, South Tampa Fellowship, Tampa, FL
About the Author: Glyn Norman has worked in the business world, for the British Government, as a church planter in Berlin, Germany and as a pastor in California and Florida. In preparation for ministry, he attended London Bible College (now London School of Theology) where he achieved an honors degree in Theology. With over 20 years ministry experience, Glyn realized that there was much to being an effective pastor that was not taught in seminary, and out of that realization, this book was born. Glyn is the husband of but one wife, Cathleen, and the father of Landon and Cicely. His interests include exegeting popular culture, listening to 80s and baroque classical music, reading The Economist, Star Trek (The Next Generation), soccer (English, of course) and table tennis (which he claims is a real sport).
