A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

What does it mean to be equipped for ministry? How can we best train the next generation of leaders? These days, bright-eyed young candidates are thrown torrents of paperwork, examinations, courses, interviews, assessments, and 40-year plans before being deemed fit to minister. Many feel a call to serve God, but cant commit to the required hoop-jumping which is, in some instances, outdated and unbiblical. The Call and the Commission draws together diverse thinkers pastors, youth workers, scholars, and theological educators in seeking to answer the question of how we can better train the next generation of church leaders. The church today needs young leaders more than ever before. But to release the right leaders into the church of tomorrow it needs to be on the lookout for young people with a passion for evangelism. And, rather than trying to make them fit the models of a previous age, the church needs to listen to the call given to each individual. Only by doing so can we fulfil our collective commission.

Revue de presse :

Like the growth of a healthy tree, the training of church leaders requires cultivation and care. This book is eminently successful in challenging the Church to cultivate with greater care the gifts of those God has called to Christian ministry. --David Coffey OBE, President of the Baptist World Alliance

The church needs to release young people into leadership and this book is a timely clarion call to action. Rob Frost inspired me to lead in my early 20s, and I pray this book will do the same to a new generation of leaders. --Mark Russell, Chief Executive of Church Army, and member of the Archbishops' Council of the Church of England
