The Ministry Medical: A Health–Check from 2 Timothy (Teaching the Bible)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Paul’s instructions and personal model for faithful ministry remain the standard for every generation. They were written to Timothy in the first instance, but they are very much for us pastor–teachers today. The aim of this short book is simply to boil down the instructions Paul gives, and the characteristics of his own ministry that he commends, so that we may see how our own lives and ministries measure up.
There are 36 questions from 2 Timothy in this checkup, each forming a chapter. There is also a checklist at the end of the book, going into each question. The book is a challenge, prompt and refresher for any pastor–teacher at any stage of his ministry. It could be read with a group of leaders or elders, taking one or two questions at a time for consideration and prayer.

This is a great book! A very easy read but a challenging one. An ideal read for young pastors just beginning or equally for someone a few years into their ministry.
—Evangelicals Now
In 2 Timothy, God has provided a key Biblical model, example, and standard of ministry for our local church ministers. It corrects our assumptions and misunderstandings, as it corrects many popular current theories about how do to local church ministry. It challenges and encourages us to do what God wants us to do, warns us of dangers, and reveals the God-given goals and means we should follow. This book by Jonathan Griffiths is a brilliantly effective study, which makes good use of 2 Timothy to give us a diagnostic tool to assess the health of our ministry. It would be equally productive for those starting out in ministry, those in their middle years, and those nearing the finishing line! It is simple and straightforward: the format of questions and comments works very well, and makes the book very user-friendly. This book will help you fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith. Highly recommended.
