2012 Reprint of 1906 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "The Star Book for Ministers" has been a trusted companion and reference for many generations of evangelical pastors, and as such it may accurately be described by the term classic, for it has stood the test of time as true classics do. A timeless treasure---you won't want to leave your office without it! This reprint of the 1906 original is loaded with practical helps and information. Topics range from pastoral care and church administration to weddings and funerals. Dr. Edward Thurston Hiscox (1814-1901) was a distinguished Baptist theologian and the author of the "Standard Manual for Baptist Churches" (published 1890) and the "New Directory for Baptist Churches" (1894) - both of which were considered two of the foundational works of the modern Baptist church.
