I really enjoy writing. I discovered this when I was working on Serving without Sinking, the first book I wrote. I am delighted to be a follower of Jesus, a husband and a father. I find my work as pastor of Broadgrace, a church in Norfolk a blessing (www.broadgrace.org.uk). To also have the opportunity to spend time writing feels like the icing on the cake.
The books I have written come out of struggles and tensions I have found as I have read the Bible, served in churches and followed Jesus. When I have observed others with similar fears, concerns, hopes and dreams it has encouraged me to pray, think and then write. I hope the books that result will bless the church.
This author introduced some new perspectives on the subject of serving in the body of Christ. I was both encouraged and convicted. Some of the questions he asks along the way will be what I use to evaluate where my heart is from this day forward. When I find myself frustrated or weary or angry, I’ll see it as a red flag for my own heart instead of just accepting that my feelings are about someone else. Highly recommend, especially to other weary and worn believers.
Fantastic! Every Christian would benefit from reading this book, especially those who serve the most in the church. In God’s providence, it was a very timely read for me! Hindley just does such a great job reminding you who Christ is, who you are in Him, and what a gift it is to serve Him.
