"Peter White has provided a most helpful assistance to preachers in his new volume... Preachers are in Peter White's debt for his assistance."
R. Albert Mohler "I am very pleased to commend this unusually helpful book. The Effective Pastor will, without question make pastors more effective..."
Nigel M. de S. Cameron "All in all, it is a rare and delicious blend. It's worth drinking slowly and savouring every mouthful."

Derek Prime "The Effective Pastor provides practical information. White strengthens his message through the use of Bible Verses and quotes by famous people at the beginning of each chapter. He also encourages application and evaluation by including exercises at the end of many of the chapters. An extensive bibliography promotes further study.
