Description

Church planting and revitalization is a unique ministry, filled with challenges. Thankfully, the apostle Paul exhorted his young disciple Titus through a brief, power-packed letter full of encouragement and instruction. In like manner, this collection of writings from seasoned pastors, planters, and church revitalizers contains hundreds of years of combined wisdom and experience. Contributors include Tom Ascol, Nick Batzig, James Coates, Carl Hargrove, Jon Benzinger, Conrad Mbewe, Dustin Benge, Wes Pastor, and others.

Endorsements

"Church planting is vital kingdom work that requires divine blessing, dependence on the Holy Spirit, biblical clarity, pastoral faithfulness, practical wisdom, and evangelistic zeal. In this collection of letters, thirteen seasoned pastors with a proven track record exhort fledgling church planters on such crucial topics as mission, calling, pastoral gifts and graces, vigilance, discipleship, diligence, holiness, teaching, preaching, and prayer. May the Lord use this invaluable manual of warm, biblical, and experiential poimenics and ecclesiology to prepare and encourage many “Tituses” in our day!"
—Joel R. Beeke, Chancellor and Professor of Homiletics & Systematic Theology Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary

"Dear Titus is a thoroughly pastoral treatment of what, in my personal opinion, is the most underappreciated and least-studied of all the Pauline epistles. Under the faithful stewardship of Nate Pickowicz, the contributors to Dear Titus have brought fresh light to the invaluable principles and precepts contained in the book of Titus, and have personalized them in such a practical way as to be of immense encouragement to those who are joyfully toiling to bring the Word of God to, as Dr. Carl Hargrove says in Dear Titus, 'a people in dire need of the gospel to save and order their lives.'"
—Darrell B. Harrison, Teaching Pastor and Biblical Counselor, Redeemer Bible Church
