If you've just begun to consider whether you've been called to gospel ministry you may feel excited, confused or even overwhelmed. It can be tricky to know where to start! In this valuable resource Trevor Archer and Paul Mallard draw on a wealth of ministry experience to give wise, biblical and practical advice to those considering full–time ministry. They offer twelve 'markers' to look for in a person called to ministry, and then suggest the next steps you could take on your journey towards full–time gospel ministry.

They affirm that there is no one–size–fits–all route into ministry and that God works uniquely in each person, while encouraging thoughtful and prayerful consideration of the diverse routes into ministry that are available. This is a key tool for those considering full–time Christian ministry or those involved in those helping others discern 'the call'.
