"The Reformed Pastor is the supreme transcript of Baxter's heart as a Puritan evangelist, and it is dynamite. Evangelism as an expression of Christian love through ministerial labour is what it is about, and its spiritual honesty, integrity, energy, and straight- forwardness are almost unnerving."
- J. I. Packer
"[The Reformed Pastor] should be read by every young minister, before he takes a people under his stated care; and, I think, the practical part of it reviewed every three or four years..."
-Philip Doddridge
Richard Baxter lived in age when many of his fellow pastors had grown too comfortable with performing their religious duties by rote and spending much of their time in gluttony and drunkenness. It was under these conditions that Baxter wrote The Reformed Pastor-a reprimand to indolent clergy and an appeal to ministers of the gospel to take heed of their own spiritual condition before attempting to shepherd others. This paraphrased edition of the Reformed Pastor makes Baxter's time-tested wisdom accessible and relevant to any who desire to be ministers of Christ today.
