Description
Book SynopsisA book for all who feel called to a life of Christian ministry, and who want to ensure their calling is firmly based on the teaching and model of Jesus
Trade ReviewThis is Richard Burridge at his best: combining practical wisdom, deep spirituality and inspiring scholarship. * 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." -- The Revd Dr Stephen Cherry * Church Times *
