Free eBook by Charles Spurgeon. ‘Fit to Lead: On the Call to Pastoral Ministry’

With the rate of pastors retiring, burning out, or concluding their ministries, the need has never been more urgent for aspiring ministry leaders to prepare well for their pastoral calling.

In the eBook Fit to Lead: On the Call to Pastoral Ministry, compiled by The Spurgeon Library at Midwestern Seminary, current and aspiring pastors will gain wisdom from Charles Spurgeon on how to discern and thrive in their call to pastoral ministry. In the short book, Spurgeon—the “Prince of Preachers”—discusses how to identify and encourage those called to ministry, as well as what steps to take in pursuing a call to ministry.
