John Angell James’ An Earnest Ministry: The Need of the Times is a compelling and deeply convicting appeal to ministers of the gospel, urging them toward a spirit of holy earnestness in their sacred calling.
约翰·安格尔·詹姆斯的《恳切的事奉：时代的需要》是一部引人入胜且深刻使人知罪的呼吁，向福音的仆人发出，敦促他们在神圣呼召中拥有圣洁恳切的心志。
Written in 1847, this work stands as both an exhortation and a solemn warning, calling preachers to recover the kind of fervent, Spirit-filled proclamation that characterized the apostolic church and the greatest awakenings in church history.
写于1847年，这部作品既是劝勉也是庄严的警告，呼召传道人恢复那种热切的、充满圣灵的宣讲，这正是使徒教会和教会历史上最伟大复兴的特征。
James contends that nothing less than a ministry of deep, burning zeal will suffice for the weighty task of shepherding souls, pleading with ministers to remember that they stand as ambassadors of Christ, entrusted with the most consequential message ever given to mankind.
詹姆斯主张，唯有深刻而火热的热心事奉才足以承担牧养灵魂的重大使命，恳求传道人记住他们是基督的使者，被托付了有史以来赐给人类最重要的信息。
With remarkable clarity, James defines true earnestness—not as mere emotional excitement or rhetorical flourish, but as a consuming devotion to the glory of God and the salvation of souls.
詹姆斯以非凡的清晰度界定了真正的恳切——不是仅仅情感的激动或修辞的华丽，而是对神的荣耀和灵魂救恩的全然献身。
He lays out the essential elements of an earnest ministry, including fervency in preaching, pastoral care, and personal holiness, illustrating these principles with the examples of great preachers from church history.
他阐述恳切事奉的基本要素，包括讲道的热切、牧养的关怀和个人的圣洁，用教会历史上伟大传道人的榜样来说明这些原则。
He does not shy away from exposing the dangers of lukewarm ministry, warning against an intellectualized, lifeless pulpit that fails to move hearts toward Christ.
他不回避揭露不冷不热事奉的危险，警告不要有知识化的、没有生命的讲台，这种讲台无法使人心转向基督。
James is especially keen to address the minister’s role in pressing sinners toward conversion, urging preachers to avoid complacency and to make the conversion of souls their chief aim.
詹姆斯特别热切地论述传道人在催促罪人归信中的角色，敦促传道人避免自满，并将灵魂的归信作为他们的首要目标。
One of the book’s great strengths is its practical application.
这本书的巨大优势之一是它的实际应用。
James offers means by which ministers can cultivate earnestness, including dependence on divine grace, a serious engagement in prayer, and a relentless pursuit of personal sanctification.
詹姆斯提供传道人培养恳切的方法，包括依靠神的恩典、认真投入祷告和不懈追求个人成圣。
He does not merely call for greater effort but insists that true ministerial power comes from divine unction—without which, all human labor is vain.
他不仅仅呼吁更大的努力，而是坚持真正的事奉能力来自神圣的恩膏——没有这恩膏，一切人的劳苦都是徒然。
This is a book that will stir any pastor, preacher, or Christian leader to examine his own ministry, asking whether he is truly laboring with the urgency and passion that the gospel demands.
这是一本会激励任何牧师、传道人或基督徒领袖省察他自己事奉的书，询问他是否真正以福音所要求的迫切和热情在劳苦。
James’ writing is powerful, rich with biblical references, and marked by a tone of loving urgency.
詹姆斯的写作是有力的，充满圣经引用，以充满爱的迫切语调为标志。
His words are convicting, but not without encouragement; he holds up the glorious fruits of an earnest ministry, showing how God has worked through devoted men in the past and can do so again.
他的话语使人知罪，但并非没有鼓励；他举起恳切事奉的荣耀果实，显明神过去如何藉着献身的人做工，并能再次如此行。
The book serves as both a rebuke to complacency and a rallying cry for a new generation of ministers who will be willing to expend themselves wholly for Christ.
这本书既是对自满的责备，也是对新一代传道人的号召呐喊，他们将愿意为基督完全地献上自己。
