"I am writing to give my recommendation of the book The Minister's Life of Obedience by Rev. Phil Richards. I have been in the ministry for over 20 years and was blessed by the content of this book. Anyone who reads this book—from a novice to a seasoned minister—will find it beneficial. The book provides life lessons and principles for any stage of a minister's calling."

A call to the ministry is always a call to preparation first. In this book, Dr. Richards explores the side of the ministry that is seldom examined: total obedience to the call of God from the earth to the throne. Dr. Richards explains, "Obedience to the Lord must be a daily affair, beginning with obedience to the call and completed obedience to the will of the Lord on the earth."
To walk in the call of God as a minister is to walk in obedience to your destiny.Whether you are called to the full-time ministry or you are a layman, an understanding of obedience is essential if we are to please the Lord. The Minister's Life of Obedience will both challenge and inspire you with a greater determination to prepare your heart to obey the Lord in every area of your life.
