Endorsements
“Bredenhof’s book is uniquely helpful and insightful. I’ve not read one like it, and I would strongly encourage every elder to read it. Behind this book is an overall vision of ministry that needs to be recovered by many today.” - Jonathan Leeman, President, 9Marks
“With seasoned pastoral skill, Bredenhof shepherds his fellow shepherds, catechizing them in these simple but eternally valuable habits of a faithful ministry. Here is a manual of faithful shepherding. Every pastor would do well to heed to the wise counsel contained in these pages.” - Joel R. Beeke, Chancellor and Professor of Systematic Theology and Homiletics, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary
“A daily dose of The Ministry of Small Things will prove to be a month’s sabbatical for pastors on the frontlines of ministry.” - Peter A. Lillback, President, Westminster Theological Seminary
“This book will not weigh you down with guilt or shame, because Bredenhof’s tone emanates from a place of deep humility. Read to be equipped—but, better, to be encouraged!” - Timothy S. Lane, President, Institute for Pastoral Care
“There is much wise counsel in these pages for both the newly initiated and the well-seasoned pastor. Both need encouragement to be faithful, even ‘in a very little,’ which makes ample room for the gracious work of God.” - A. Craig Troxel, Robert G. den Dulk Professor of Practical Theology, Westminster Seminary California
