Making Good in the Ministry - A Sketch of John Mark by A T Robertson and published by Classics.
In 1918 A T Robertson completed 30 years as a teacher of young preacher.
In this book which is dedicated to his students he writes
“About four thousand people during this period have been my pupils and They are scattered all over the world as workers for Christ and some have gone on before.
My own life will count for much or little in proportion as these men and women do well the work that God has placed in their hands. I love them with my whole heart and this, my twentieth book, alas, deals directly with the failure or success of one’s life-work as illustrated by John Mark. My very heart has gone into this book and with it a message to all workers for Christ, young and old, all over the world of whatever creed.
John Mark has a message for us all. It is not easy to-day to make a success of one's ministry. It never was easy. It never will be easy. Ministerial fidelity makes success possible, yet there is something sweeter than success that is to deserve it.”
