In Gospel-Driven Ministry, Jared Wilson looks at the qualifications for the pastorate and introduces a gospel-centered approach to the core practices of pastoral ministry, including:

• preaching sermons
• developing a vibrant prayer life
• caring and counseling
• family care and self-discipline
• leadership dynamics
• spiritual warfare and fighting sin
• resolving conflict
• passing on the ministry to others

Wilson also provides practical resources for baptism and the Lord's Supper, and guidance for wedding and funeral sermons. This is a comprehensive, practical guide to pastoring that prepares new pastors and equips those currently serving for long-term, healthy ministry.
