Both are excellent books that stress the importance of focusing on the real issues of ministry such as prayer, meditation, and spiritual mentoring.<br /><br />I hope you have someone to help you process the sense of call on your life. Be sure to talk with your pastor or other trusted spiritual advisor in your life about this important decision. I am convinced God is calling persons into pastoral ministry, but many are missing that call due to the busyness of their lives. It's not always an easy call to understand or sort out, so it's helpful to have someone walk with you on that journey.
