He is a thoughtful, theologically engaged practitioner and a source of sound wisdom on matters of ministry." --Albert Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary\n"Brian Croft's years of experience in local church ministry combined with his God-given wisdom and love for pastors uniquely equip him to minister to God's undershepherds.

Brian Croft has become a pastor to pastors. Always practical and always biblical, he answers the tough questions, mentoring us from afar." --Tim Challies, Blogger and book reviewer, Challies.com; Author\nThis 52-week field guide for ministry in the trenches provides a thorough and practical training program for pastors, aspiring pastors, and church ministry leaders. 
Tackling seven key areas in the life of a shepherd, Practically Trained Pastors takes a step-by-step approach to study. Each week includes a Bible passage to read, an additional reading assignment, a teaching section, a 4-5 minute video to watch, and reflection questions to help you to apply each topic to your ministry context. 
The field guide draws on experience from decades of pastoral ministry and is designed specifically to bridge the gap between academic study and the hands-on practical training necessary for the work of any pastor. 
A one-stop resource for in-the-field training, when used alongside other practical shepherding resources, this is the ideal course for a solo pastor to sharpen his pastoral skills, or for a lead pastor to use with his church interns, ministry leaders, or fellow elders.
