Pastoral dropout rates are high, and seminary admission rates are declining—signs that many of us don’t quite know what we’re signing ourselves up for.

Author Jason Allen, a former pastor and the president of North America’s fastest growing seminary, gives readers a better picture of the calling in Discerning Your Call To Ministry.

Presenting a series of diagnostic questions informed by Scripture, church history, and his own experience, he helps those seeking ordination or ministry positions make confident decisions about their service to God, one way or the other.
