“A practical, topic-by-topic study of both the spirit and work of church leadership. What makes this book different is its straightforward, unsentimental, and carefully reasoned approach to ministry. Keucher manages to approach deeply spiritual issues in a thoroughly practical way, and explores practical matters without failing to note their spiritual dimension. Overall, this book instructs and gently disciplines the leader in the best tradition of church service while remaining strikingly contemporary in attitude and style.”—The Rt. Rev. Paul V. Marshall, Bishop of Bethlehem
