I had the honor of being a student of F. Belton Joyner for several classes during Course of Study at Duke Divinity School. Belton is a fountain of knowledge with a mix of quick wit and humor. He has a heart for pastors, especially those just beginning their journey in ministry. I am forever grateful for Belton's love of God, the Church, and pastors.--Sue Anne Morris, Pastor, First Eden Spray United Methodist Church, Eden, NC; and Chair of Local Pastors and Associate Members, Western North Carolina ConferenceBelton Joyner has once again blessed us with a gift of God's practical divinity. I hope and pray that this treasure of wisdom will find its way into the hands of anyone with the audacity to answer the call of God to serve as a United Methodist pastor. Whatever your status in the annual conference, here is both practical and spiritual wisdom that I highly recommend for both laity and clergy. I have just one question: Where was this when I started my ministry as a local pastor?--Leonard E. Fairley, Resident Bishop Louisville Area, The United Methodist Church
