Standing in the midst of majesty and might, Jesus said that if we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can look at the mountains in the distance, tell them to move, and they will (Matthew 17:20). But what happens when our faith is smaller than the smallest of all seeds? What happens when the mountains won't move? The purpose of this book is to equip and exhort Christians to survive the most difficult days of life so that the mountains that won't move will move before them.

In Fit for the Pulpit, a host of preachers dispense comfort and counsel to their brothers in the trenches, men who often work in ministerial isolation as they seek to build up the body of Christ. Chris McCurley, the editor of this volume, has assembled ten different writers to cover a wide swath of material. In eleven chapters, McCurley and his colleagues manage to cover many of the areas wherein preachers need continual encouragement.

Life isn’t for the faint of heart. People can be mean. Friends can turn their backs. Spouses can walk away. Employers can terminate without cause. Churches can unjustly accuse or unfairly assume. But how about some good news? In Christ alone, we can have a second shot at life. Today’s picture does not have to be tomorrow’s portrait. We can finish stronger and better than we began. Furthermore, we’re surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:2) who experienced their own transformation and are cheering for us to do the same.
