I have personally used and highly recommend the Star Book for Ministers. Filled with useful forms, ceremonial procedures, guidelines for different types of services, parliamentary guides for churches, and even ecclesiastical sample letters and blanks, I have found it a priceless resource. I highly recommend this book for all ministers, and especially for the newly ordained clergy or anyone starting a church.
The Star Book for Ministers is a wonderful reference guide. It is jam packed with information yet small enough to discreetly and easily carry with you. If you are new to the ministry or someone who has been in the ministry a while, it contains practical helps and information.Topics covered include: Entering the Christian Ministry, Preaching the Gospel, Pastoral Care, etc. There are almost 100 pages of scripture one can refer to by topic (Confession & Forgiveness, Christian Love, Grief, Comfort, Beneditions, etc). This is most helpful when counseling someone.Finally there are practical guidelines for dealing with others during weddings, funerals and baptisms as well as suggestions for ceremonies. Indispensible!
If your a new minister then this book is a must have. All the basic information you need for day to day activities. Priceless.
This is THE book to own of its type. Highly recommended to new and old ministers alike. It should be in every ministers library. I always refer back to mine.
Some things never get out dated. This handbook/manual has surpassed the the test of time and will always be helpful to those in the ministry and or evangelism.
Very handy book to have - this is my third copy (the others having worn out). Scripture passages are all KJV and ceremonial orders are all archaically worded but they provide a framework and an experienced minister can take it from there. The leather binding is considerably more durable than the hard binding.
I bought the Kindle edition so that I could carry it with the rest of my Minister's library, Bibles, Apocryphal books, etc, on my Kindles. But to my surprise, when opening this one for the first time, there are entire pages missing, the Table of Contents is missing, the letters are jumbled, and entire sections are illegible. I want a refund for this defective e-book!
I bought this book for my dad who has been a pastor for 30 yrs. he has most of these outlines memorized and has done them for years by memory. When I asked where his star book was he said he couldn't find it and wouldn't by another one unless it was an exact copy of his original cause that was the best. He couldn't find it any where so I dug around and came up with it here. This book is great and worth the money. I highly recommend it for young ministers.
