Publisher's Summary:
Who ministers to the minister?
The man behind the pulpit is the communicator of God's Word, the dispenser of heavenly wisdom that restores the fainting, encourages the weary, and motivates the determined. The preacher is a minister - a servant to God and to his fellow man.
But who ministers to the minister?
In Fit for the Pulpit, a host of preachers dispense comfort and counsel to their brothers in the trenches, men who often work in ministerial isolation as they seek to build up the body of Christ. Chris McCurley, the editor of this volume, has assembled 10 different writers to cover a wide swath of material. In 11 chapters, McCurley and his colleagues manage to cover many of the areas wherein preachers need continual encouragement: time, relationships, discouragement, stress, criticism, family, finances, sin, attitude, and laziness.
The authors of Fit for the Pulpit manage to minister grace to the minister by using candid, captivating language. The variety of the text and the timelessness of the themes make Fit for the Pulpit relatable. This book makes a valuable contribution to the catalog of homiletical literature - a contribution that accomplishes much, helping to make men Fit for the Pulpit.
The full list of authors includes Jeff A. Jenkins, Dale Jenkins, Adam Faughn, Steve Higginbotham, Jacob Hawk, and Jay Lockhart.

Five Stars All the Way
If you have spent any time at all in the preaching ministry, then you know the challenges that come with it. In our pursuit to be all things to all men, we often find ourselves bending under the weight of trying to balance sermon preparation, visiting, family time, evangelism, and all the other 'hats' that often come with it. Fit for the Pulpit presents a very practical, balanced, and encouraging approach to addressing the rigors of preaching. Above all, it manages to keep the spotlight of preaching where it belongs - on Christ! I highly recommend it!
Preachers please read
Great little book. It puts your preaching live into perspective. Every section is outstanding and it doesn't have to be read in order. I recommend it to anyone preaching and wanting to preach. I will read this many times for years to come. Every author did a great job. God bless you all.
Appreciate this
As a preacher sometimes we get discouraged, but most of us have not yet resisted unto blood. I will not minimize the sacrifices those who have shed blood have made; sometimes though, the everyday work, juggling time and trying to please God above all does get daunting.
Preachers need to remember that we are here to please God, no one else. Working out the details is hard!
great book for preachers!
This book is wonderful for preachers for all ages. Even if you are not a preacher, this book gives valuable insight into the work, mind, and heart of those who minister for a congregation full or part time. I felt this book challenged me to refocus my work for The Lord and I highly recommend it.
Great stuff
There are many things that I got from this book! I even took a few things to add to my sermons! This is definitely a book I found worth reading.
