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.  

Following is some biographical information about Dave.

Dave served in pastoral ministry at Covenant Fellowship Church (Glen Mills, PA) since 1986, was ordained in 1988, and served as senior pastor from 1990 to 2008.
