Synopsis

In his introduction, “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.” This charge from Acts 20:28 only is the beginning of a solemn and overarching task to be personally involved and disciple all of your congregants. Richard Baxter’s plea for shepherding his flock continues with a charge to pastors to verify their own spiritual walk and then walks them through various disciplines, strategies and goals to guide and instruct their congregation.

About Richard Baxter

Richard Baxter (1615–1691) was
a prominent English churchman and peacemaker who sought unity among
Protestants. Born in Rowton to
parents who undervalued education, he was largely self-taught. At age twenty-three he was
ordained into the Church of England. Baxter became even better known for his prolific writing,
with more than two hundred works to his name. His devotional classic, The Saints’ Everlasting Rest, was one of
the most widely read books of the century. When asked what deviations should be
permitted from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, he created an entirely new
one, Reformed Liturgy, in two weeks.
His autobiography and his pastoral guide, The
Reformed Pastor, are still widely read today.

Goodreads review by Matt

Baxter's style is plain, vivid, and vigorous. When it comes to the puritans I have attempted to read a little of Owen and Sibbes, but now I wish I had started with Baxter. (I've read Bunyan too, but he seems to be in a class by himself!) Baxter is not at all hard to understand or hard to follow, nor......more

This is a spiritually-charged arrow to the flesh of all ministers. Bottom line: the ministry is bigger than the pulpit.......more

Goodreads review by Joe

This is one of those books that every pastor must have in his library - and not only in his library, he must have it bouncing around in his heart and lingering in the back of his mind. In this book Baxter shows what is the bone and marrow of effective pastoral ministry. He exposes frauds, denounces......more
