A Pastor’s Sketches is one of the finest and most unique books ever written on the subject of evangelistic and pastoral ministry. It should rightly take its place on the desk of every pastor, but is immensely useful to anyone helping others to know God.

Drawing on his meticulous note-taking from evangelistic and counseling efforts, Ichabod Spencer accurately retells a helpful sampling of these encounters, including many of the excuses, spiritual strongholds, and lies that keep souls away from Christ.

Each chapter or sketch includes a narrative of Spencer’s efforts to apply the Scriptures under the guiding counsel of the Holy Spirit in order to help people overcome their personal obstacles to faith and repentance. He then shares with readers the primary lessons which can be learned from each interaction.
