"Though written in an accessible, conversational style, this book addresses a problem that is at the forefront of discussions about theological education today: how do we prepare individuals for the practical challenges that they will face in ministry. What do ministers wish they had learned in seminary? On one hand it is a practical guide for ministers - valuable reading for students and graduates alike. On the other, it is a gift to people and institutions called to train ministers - like an extensive answer to an exit survey for seminary graduates, but with a lifetime of experiences to draw upon. What I Wish I Had Learned in Seminary is a book that every seminary student, every seminary graduate, and every seminary library should own." Dr. Christopher Richardson, Head Seminary Librarian, Union Presbyterian Seminary, Richmond, Va.
