Kim reveals the 'whole scope' of ministry: allows for joy, clarity and wisdom

MAITLAND, FL— Within the pages of Seong Soo Kim’s new book, Philosophy of Christian Ministry: A Practical Guide to Develop Your Own ($11.99, paperback, 978-1-62509-436-0; $5.99, e-book, 978-1-62509-437-7) readers will receive the guidance to establish their own philosophy of ministry. This book is mainly directed to those many aspiring seminary graduates who may jump into full time ministry without having fully developed their own concepts of ministry.

“Action comes from attitude, and attitude comes from philosophy,” states the author. “A well-established philosophy of ministry leads to a proper approach to ministry, and reduces the possibility of being unduly influenced by the surrounding culture. Conversely, an inadequate philosophy of ministry can distort the quality of one's ministry.”

Of his expertise, the author expresses: “I earned [a] M.S. in engineering and worked as a senior engineer while pursuing Ph.D. in engineering when I sensed the call from God to full-time ministry. I earned a Master of Divinity and a Doctor of Ministry. So I experienced a transition from a senior engineer and a lay leader to a full time pastor. My engineering background made me analytical and organized in developing my own philosophy of ministry. I also lectured theology and philosophy of ministry to Bible students, which gave me an opportunity to integrate my own philosophy of ministry with Biblical theology. [The] combination of these attributes and experiences forms a unique expertise to write this book which offers a ‘practical yet Biblically founded’ guide to develop the reader's own philosophy of ministry.”
