Title: The Reformed Pastor by Richard Baxter, Jay Green ISBN: 1589600010 Publisher: Sovereign Grace Trust Fund Pub. Date: December, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $8.99 |

Summary: Solid material
Comment: Baxter's time was not too unlike our own. Despite there being a large theological agreement that there must be discipline within the Church, very few leaders in the church are willing to carry it out. Baxter reminds us, and convincingly so, that we must do so for not only the good of the soul of the individual, but for the rest of the Church, and even ourselves. Most of the book rotates around the subject of discipline in the pastoral ministry. It also contains many other details concerning the ministry that would be good for any aspiring, or current pastor to read.
The only reason I give the book 4 stars instead of 5 is because this version is the abridged version of what Baxter wrote years ago. However, there is nothing that would tell you this unless you read the preface. I was a little disturbed upon originally reading the preface that this was the case, and that the original work is closer to 700 pages (depending on margins and type settings). This book has a rather tiny font size, and very little margin, so even though it is only over 100 pages, if it were in the typical type setting you see in most books, it would probably be closer to 3-400 pages.
Also, the ancient Elizabethean english has been revised for the modern reader, which probably accounts for the shorter number of pages.
Don't let any of this distract you from getting this book though, there are still many redeeming qualities to it.
Rating: 5
Summary: Much needed advice.
Comment: Having been a pastor for almost 25 years I admit to initially being angry when I read The Reformed Pastor some years ago.
"Why didn't someone show this book to me before?" I thought to myself.
How foolish a young minister is who enters the Gospel ministry having been told of Baxter but who refuses to read Baxter.
This Puritan of Puritans was wonderfully gifted by God to be a real pastor.
Rating: 5
Summary: Must reading for pastors and potential pastors
Comment: The wisdom of Richard Baxter's THE REFORMED PASTOR should be required readng for all who are even thinking about going into the ministry. It will make you re-think your calling, and look into your personal conviction to Christ like few other books can. A must read.
