He shares from his own eleven-year experience preparing to be a pastor by walking potential leaders through different stages of ministry training, from practical steps--such as cultivating godly ambition and leadership, observing healthy churches, and mastering Scripture--to personal advice on building a strong family and succeeding in seminary. Emphasizing the importance of prayer, godly counsel, and immersion in the local church, Jamieson encourages men to ask \u003cem\u003eAm I qualified?\u003c\/em\u003e instead of \u003cem\u003eAm I called?\u003c\/em\u003e when considering a life in ministry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eForeword by Conrad Mbewe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by a pastor to aspiring pastors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes suggested books for further reading \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines the giftings and qualifications important for pastoral ministry \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEncourages young men to reflect on their pursuit of ministry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBobby Jamieson\u003c\/strong\u003e (PhD, University of Cambridge) is the senior pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
