He accepted a call to a church of twenty-five people in West Columbia, Texas in 1954, and by the 1980's the church had nine-hundred and fifty in weekly attendance. The amazing thing is that the population of West Columbia is only forty-five hundred people. Success in Ministry is a collection of his teachings and sermons that he taught at his spiritual sons' meetings and preached at his church. This book contains timeless principles of ministry that will benefit both those who serve in vocational ministry and those who minister on a volunteer basis.
