In every age, Christians experience pressure to embrace contemporary culture. In Corinth, the church had been infiltrated by some who had grown weary of the message of the cross: whose boast was in outward appearance. In 2 Corinthians 2-7,Paul writes into this setting, urging the Corinthians then, and us today, to embrace the 'weak' ministry of Gospel proclamation, to partner with 'weak' Christians, and to boast in 'weak' ministers. It is in this weakness that God's power is exhibited. Nothing could be more opposite to our celebrity culture.

I warmly commend this volume to those whose privileged task it is ... to proclaim 'Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake'. (2 Cor. 4:5)
Kanishka Raffel
Dean of Sydney
In an age in which substance often gives way to style, we urgently need teaching like this, which builds convictions about the nature and power of authentic gospel ministry and spurs us to stick with it.

... a timely book! William Taylor is a skillful expositor of God's Word and brings into the light the profile of a true Christian minister with piercing accuracy and practical application. After reading this book, you will be convinced that God's design is to use weak, broken jars of clay by his Spirit to transform the lives of others and accomplish his divine purposes.

Most of my stress in ministry is because I have begun to imagine that it depends on my performance. This book has driven me back to the fundamentals and reminded me where the true power lies. It is ... desperately relevant in our culture.
