Editorial Review: Product Description: After nearly fifty years in ministry, Letters to Timothy is John Bisagnos retirement gift to younger and older pastors alike. A voluminous and comprehensive work, it is full of useful advice to ministers covering the things that might have fallen through the cracks in seminary. This book is a practical manual covering all aspects of pastoral life for clergy in churches of all sizes, locations, and denominations. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very wide, very shallowThe nation's first mega church was First Baptist Houston. Hitting 5,000 members in the 1970's, they were pastored by John R. Bisagno until 1999. Bisagno discipled Rick Warren, and the two of them have paved the way for other Southern Baptist Churches to become mega churches.

It is not exhaustive by any means, but grapples with the most basic and difficult areas thoughfully throughout a host of varying issues related to leading the congregation This book is excellent for a new minister, a great book for those with some experience, and could be used as a reference for seasoned leaders to get "another viewpoint" on a particular issue. ...

Rating: - A Blessing for All Church LeadersThis book is a blessing for ministry students and experienced leaders as well. I read the book as if the author was the mentor and I was the student. I can confirm the experiences the author shares and I learned so much more. In the future I will use this book as reference material because there is such a wealth of practical information that you cannot get anywhere else. This book would be a great gift for someone considering the ministry. Rating: - Great Book!This is an excellent book for any seminary student. Dr. Bisagno provides xcellent practical information as to how churches really work. This is information that is not taught in seminary, but a very pragmatic approach to ministry. Thanks for all of your hard work Pastor!
