Supported by the Lilly Endowment through the D. James Kennedy Institute of Reformed Leadership, Michael A. Milton introduces the Pastoral Training Model--a comprehensive, post-seminary framework grounded in biblical theology, historical wisdom, and peer-reviewed research. Integrating apprenticeship, scholarly reflection, pastoral family care, peer support, and local church formation, the model offers a practical pathway for sustaining pastors and strengthening congregational health. Written for pastors, church leaders, and theological educators, this book provides a hopeful vision for shepherding the shepherds for lifelong ministry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47883713151127,"sku":"9798385269549","price":2940.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798385269549.webp?v=1781103482","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ancient-wisdom-living-mission-preparing-ministers-of-the-gospel-for-word-and-work-through-the-pastoral-training-model-9798385269549","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
