For Preachers Only by G. Byron Deshler - 1973

An extremely well preserved valuable devotional resource for ministers; older but with timeless advice & meditations. Interestingly it is an unpaginated volume.so lends itself to reading the numerous short devotionals as desired, many with a Scripture passage and/or prayer. Flyleaf: "My principle excuse (for writing this book)… lies in my concern for the devotional life of the Christian ministry. I have enjoyed close contact with a considerable number of clergymen…and many have confessed to having allowed the pressures of the pastorate to crowd out the time of prayer and communion. These meditations have come out of my effort to replenish the Spirit by daily turning to the New Testament-which has been not only a clear pool of refreshing water but a mirror reflecting back those blemishments which I could too easily overlook. For Preachers Only recognizes that the minister is also a Christian in the making, who experiences all of the temptations common to men and some that are peculiar to his profession. The minister has his low days as well as the high; he knows discouragement and hope, failure and fulfillment. And as one whom Christ has called to spiritual leadership he is under commission to grow and never cease striving for Christian maturity. These pages are full of suggestions, reminders, encouragement-an an occasional rebuke/ The meditations will help every weary or discouraged pastor to look up and know that God is with him…."
