In these chapters, John R. Gunn mentors preachers and seminarians with cogent, biblically-based reflections

in which he confronts the realities and stereotypes of ministerial practice and character. . . . His advice, to young and old . . . is a salutary challenge to who we are and what we are to be about. (James L. Waits, president emeritus, The Fund for Theological Education).

Men and women led to serve God through church leadership will find this book unfailingly insightful and inspiring.
