“This is a significant and very spiritual contribution to our
thinking about leadership: distinctively Christian, deeply rooted
in the reality of local churches, and definitely life-giving!”
*Paul Harcourt, National Leader, New Wine England*
"Comprehensive, Biblically rooted, and grounded in practical
experience, this is a book that all Christian leaders will want to
have on their shelves. It faces the leadership task with wisdom,
honesty and reflection on the whole-life character of Christian
leadership in a way that will inspire and challenge, whether you
are just setting out as a leader or have been leading for many
years."
*Emma Ineson, Bishop of Penrith*
