Now I wouldn’t normally choose a title like that for a blog, ever since I saw an advert for a book at Spring Harvest many years ago that described it as ‘This indispensable book’ (I thought only one – well, one collection – fitted that description). But …
I’ve just finished reading ‘Fit To Lead‘ by Chris Edmondson, the warden of Lee Abbey, and formely a vicar of large and small, inner city and rural parishes. This is the book I wish I had read around the time I began in ministry, especially given the poor quality of my Methodist training. Edmondson doesn’t tell you how to do all the ministry tasks, but he does describe what it takes to nourish you and find the appropriate support so that you can minister well. The list price is £9.95 but I picked it up for about £2 through the Christian Book Club.
