Can't say I have; but I have heard that Alistair Begg is a very good man, and Derek Prime has written some useful commentaries.

Are you a Ron Paul supporter?

I have not read it but I intend to. I think you'll find the book helpful, Josh. I like Begg.

Josh,
Here is a place where you can cut through some of the red tape . . .
Or . . . not.

I got that book at a going-out-of-business sale the day before I was installed as a pastor. I really enjoyed it. The book was very practical, and well written; you can clearly see the influence of each author. I've been considering reading it again since it's been almost two years.
As I recall, there is a focus in this book on not being a "professional" but rather a man called of God for a very unique tasking. That theme is expanded on by John Piper in his "Brothers, We Are Not Professionals" if you are interested.
