*Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury*
Presenting Jesus as the exemplar for ministry, this welcome book
blends a scholar’s attention to gospel texts with a priest’s
insight into ordained life.
*Rosalind Brown, Canon Librarian, Durham Cathedral*
A wise and rich resource for those exploring vocation, deeply
rooted in the realities of ministry and in the depths of the
biblical tradition.
*Ian McIntosh, Ministry Division, The Archbishops’ Council*
One of the very best books on Jesus, the gospels and ministry today
. . . packed with treasure and wisdom.
*Martyn Percy, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford*
What makes the book special is that it is grounded in four
different "sources"…. It is the integration of all these factors
which makes the book so good . . . The key question on my mind
while reading the book to review it was this: "Do I wish that I had
read this before?" The answer was a definite "Yes."
*Church Times*
