Good Mr. Baxter: Sketches of Effective, Caring Leadership for the Church from the Life of Richard Baxter
He was a best-selling author, evangelist and statesman, ye he considered the pastoral ministry the highest calling anyone could aspire to. When George Whitfield, the eighteenth century Methodist evangelist, passed through Baxter's rural parish a century after his death, he noted the lingering "sweet savour of good Mr. Baxter's doctrine, works and discipline." What transformed this country pastor with little formal education or training into of the most effective and fruitful Christian leaders of all time? Good Mr. Baxter offers examples, insights and wisdom from the life and death of Richard Baxter to spur on modern leaders to energetic, passionate, practical ministry in the Church.
