The present work on PRIESTLY MINISTRY AND RESPECT FOR THE INTEGRITY OF CREATION: Festschrift in Honour of Rev. Fr. Egbe Peter Abumhenre edited by Agatha A. Ikhumetse and Peter O. Isesele, is excellent and well-conceived as it touches the heart of God and reminds humanity of the awesomeness of God embodied in creation. Priestly Ministry, therefore, demonstrates man's response to divine call whose overall intention is the salvation of mankind and the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This foreword, therefore, has pointed to the harvest of souls through impressive and committed priestly ministry. It contains a collection of perceptions crystallized as sincere contributions by various authors which will serve future generations intellectual, religious, and social dimensions. The foreword invites persons from all endeavours to imbibe productive ideas, widespread and intelligent imaginations put forward by competent and renowned authors in various specialties. It is quite rewarding and interesting. – Prof. Udeme Joshua Josiah IJAH Department of Microbiology, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State, Nigeria
