"Renewing Your Commitment to Christ's Call" by Dr. Michael A. Milton is a concise yet powerful book that offers encouragement and guidance to pastors and their families. Originally delivered as an address to Armed Forces Chaplains and Spouses at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's The Cove in Asheville, North Carolina, the book focuses on John 21:1-22, a passage that remains relevant and inspiring to all ministers.Dr. Milton begins by acknowledging the hardships that pastors often face in their ministry.

These vectors offer practical and spiritual guidance to pastors, helping them navigate the challenges of their calling. By applying these principles, ministers can find strength, purpose, and endurance, even in the darkest hours of their ministry.Although Dr. Milton refers to the book as "a humble little tract," its content carries profound and eternal truths. The insights shared in this book have the potential to transform the lives of ministers and prepare them for the demanding nature of their work. By renewing their commitment to Christ's call, pastors and their families can find the inspiration and strength they need to serve faithfully and make a lasting impact in the lives of others."Renewing Your Commitment to Christ's Call" is a valuable resource that reminds pastors of the significance of their role and provides them with practical guidance for personal and vocational renewal.

Michael A. Milton's Involved with Mankind: A Theology of the Chaplaincy is the first release in a series on the theology of chaplain ministry. Prepared for the Presbyterian and Reformed Commission on Chaplains and Military Personnel (PRCC), Bethesda Publishing Group now makes this monograph available to the Church and the public. Chaplain ministry is growing even as many churches are in decline. Why so? And how is it that chaplaincy seems to thrive in the secular age? How about the validity of a word and sacrament ministry that takes place in a context "outside of the gates" and is even funded by those who may be resistant to the Gospel? Mike Milton seeks to find not only the answers to these questions but to locate the theological code that can unlock the glorious potential of chaplaincy to be the faithful presence and common good that the Church seeks to become in secularism and post-secularism.
