Contrary to those who appear to think that the only "moral issues" which should concern contemporary Christians are abortion, homosexuality and stem cell research, Jesus was concerned about many issues. Although He wrote no systematic ethical system, He gave His followers principals to guide them about moral issues, which He did not mention. These include making peace, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, housing the homeless and visiting the imprisoned.

Ministers often differ from church members in their expectations of what constitutes proper pastoral ministry. Had the ministers been aware of these differences earlier, they might have avoided some of the problems which later occurred.

"I Wish Someone Had Told Me" is terrific. It's just the sort of thing that students coming out of seminar need to have at their disposal. Even better, it would be great if they had that little book before they went to seminary.
