A Workman Not Ashamed: Essays in Honor of Albert N. Martin

A Workman Not Ashamed

Essays in Honor of Albert N. Martin

Foreword by Joel Beeke

Al Martin’s ministry has had a profound impact on hundreds of faithful ministers and thousands of people for several decades.  The time has come for a book of essays reflecting his interests and passions, written by friends, in his honor.

In addition to a foreword by Joel Beeke and a sermon by the Puritan John Gill (1697–1771), this book includes essays by:

• John Reuther: A Biographical Sketch of Albert N. Martin
• Sam Waldron: Peter Preached on Pentecost
• Conrad Mbewe: Pastors Prepare Future Pastors
• Richard Barcellos: The Christian Ministry in the Church
• Alan Dunn: The Witness of the Martyrs
• Jim Savastio: Shepherd the Flock of God
• D. Scott Meadows: The One True Gospel of Gracious Justification
• Rob Ventura: The Holy Spirit and the Preacher of God
• Michael A. G. Haykin: “By the Compass of the Word”
• Jeffrey Riddle: The Administration and the Adminstrators of Baptism
• Scott Aniol: Form and Substance
• Jeffrey C. Waddington: The Deeper Protestant Conception and Preaching

Here you will find a book that honors a veteran minister and teacher of the Word by exhorting other ministers to preach the Word, shepherd the flock, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill the commission placed upon them by the Lord. May God use the contributions of these authors to raise up preachers who fit the words of Francis Wayland (1796–1865): “From the manner in which our ministers have entered upon the work, it is evident that it must have been the prominent object of their lives to convert men to God.”
