Many books have been written for those about to join the ministry, but most focus on the external and practical aspects of the job. The Threshold of the Sanctuary focuses on the inner aspects of the pastoral and ministerial life. Randolph covers such topics as repentance, prayer, meditation, self-discipline, study, and more.
It is marked throughout by high spiritual tone and a keen insight into the needs of the clergy and of candidates for ordination.
