Publisher's summary

You may have felt God’s call to ministry and followed that call to seminary, only to find it way more difficult than you’d expected. Students are often unprepared for the incessant demands on time, the sheer volume of research and writing, and the struggle to make ends meet with low-pay, part-time work. The pressure and stress can build up quickly.

What a student needs is a straight-talking mentor, someone who has been through the process and survived, who can help them make critical decisions, and see them through.

The Complete Seminary Survival Guide speaks with a voice of much-needed wisdom. It will appeal to new and experienced students alike because of its no-nonsense approach, and will explain how to make strategic changes right from the start.

From how to pick a seminary to how to read masters'-level material quickly, this audiobook will help you succeed and will keep you on track with your relationships and family while you study. For those who wish to graduate seminary ready to serve, with their love for God and people intact, this audiobook is a must-listen.

Author Mark Warnock has two seminary degrees, an MDiv & a PhD, and has pastored in Illinois and Florida for over 20 years. He knows the challenges of seminary life firsthand, and has written extensively on the subject for 10 years at seminarysurvivalguide.com.

Critic reviews

"Here is an audiobook with practical and spiritual guidance in navigating the seminary years of education. It will answer questions you've wondered about, and it will provide answers to questions you haven't even thought to ask yet! Wisdom for the journey." (Trevin Wax, Bible and Reference Publisher at LifeWay Christian Resources, author of This Is Our Time, Gospel-Centered Teaching, and Counterfeit Gospels)

"This guide is a great read, full of 'snap, crackle, and pop.' It’s edgy, pushy, and intrusively granular, but unmistakably amiable. And though it is written pointedly for the seminarian, much of it applies across the board to Christ’s disciples in every walk of life. I found myself cheering (e.g., over their insistence on selfless, engaged churchmanship during seminary days and their praise for the bi-vocational approach). But sometimes I had to swallow hard (e.g., at places in the time-management section, as when they 'slandered' TV)." (Mark T. Coppenger, professor of Christian Philosophy and Ethics at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary)

"Seminary students today have it harder than one might think. The Complete Seminary Survival Guide gives uncommon but wise counsel on how to navigate the spiritual, financial and academic challenges of graduate theological study. I gladly recommend this timely and helpful book!" (Art Rainer, author of The Money Challenge, VP for Institutional Advancemen at The Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary)
