R. Albert Mohler President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky
... this book, though primarily for pastors, is of value to all christians. It is to be seriously hoped that this volume will be found not just on the library shelves of pastors, but also in their hands. If your minister does not have a copy, buy one for him.

"The Effective Pastor provides practical information. White strengthens his message through the use of Bible Verses and quotes by famous people at the beginning of each chapter. He also encourages application and evaluation by including exercises at the end of many of the chapters. An extensive bibliography promotes further study. This book should be added to seminary libraries as well as to every pastor's personal book collection."
Ellen Clodfelter ‘Ashland Theological Journal 35’ (2003)
"I am very pleased to commend this unusually helpful book. The Effective Pastor will, without question make pastors more effective..."
