WRF Member Dr. David Harvey Publishes "Am I Called? The Summons to Pastoral Ministry"

September 2, 2013 Sam Logan: Attached to this article is an excerpt of a new book by WRF member, Dr. David Harvey. 

Dave has been a long-time supporter of the World Reformed Fellowship and this book, Am I Called? The Summons to Pastoral Ministry, published by Crossway Books, is a superb examination of the whole question of one’s calling to ministry, whether at the beginning of a ministry or after many years in ministry.  The WRF commends this book to its members.  The book may be ordered either directly from Crossway [ http://www.crossway.org/books/am-i-called-tpb/ ] or from such retail outlets as Amazon.com.
