God not only calls gospel ministers to devote themselves to the word; He also expects them to be dedicated to prayer (Acts 6:4). Most pastors agree that prayer is an essential element of their calling, yet many struggle to devote consistent time, attention, and affection to this sacred means of grace. With conviction of its importance and awareness of personal struggles, David T. Irving motivates fellow ministers to pray more for their people and their ministry. If you labor as a gospel minister, receive this encouraging exhortation on the duty, difficulty, discipline, and delight of a pastor’s devotion to prayer.
Ligon Duncan“This book is an aid, exhortation, and encouragement to ministers in their private prayer. And gospel ministers who want to be faithful love to be helped, exhorted, and encouraged in the main things of the Christian life and ministry by other faithful ministers. As Pastor Irving walks us through the subject, addressing the duty, difficulty, discipline, and delight of the minister’s practice of private prayer, he speaks to us as a brother, pastor, and friend.”
