Abstract
The faith-based call to pastoral leadership can be an overwhelming journey. In some cases, the appeal to ministry is unclear, causing one to feel inexact, inadequate, or ill-prepared to undertake such a vocation. Regardless of the challenges that new pastors may face, knowing that there resides within all persons a great work waiting to spring forth, can be the difference in the success or failure in ministry. New pastors do well to address certain aspects of their call before entering into ministry, such as; understanding the sense of call, accepting the call, realizing what constitutes the call into pastoral ministry, being aware of what others may expect from you, understanding the theology of leadership, as well as understanding and dealing with burnout. A Great Work in You: A Manual for Newly Assigned Pastors, enlightens unseasoned leaders by bringing forth both clarity and awareness for the journey that lies ahead.
