This is your sometime reminder that my book, Independent Eldership, is still available to buy from some good book shops and, I presume, some potentially not very good ones. Certainly, Amazon and Grace Publications have it available. 10ofthose – play the game lads!

You can read John Woods full review of the book at Evangelicals Now. John says:

This book is the first of a projected series of books in A People on Purpose series. In ten volumes the themes of how God gathers, governs and grows the church will be explored. As the series editor Andrew Roycroft puts it: “this [is an] original series of volumes with the health of the local church at its core.”

“Healthy Christians make for healthy churches, and healthy churches make for healthy Christians. Likewise, healthy churches are led by healthy leaders who have been shaped by healthy resources.”

This volume by Stephen Kneale, who you may know from his Building Jerusalem blog, deals thoroughly with the topic of healthy leadership in 24 chapters.

If you are interested in healthy church order, church leadership or a biblical case for Independent Church leadership, this is the one for you. If you are a church member who simply wants to know what your elders do all day or what you can rightly expect them to be doing, this is worth getting too. If you want to better support your church leaders, understanding what they are seeking to do and how they might do it, worth getting on this.
