Description

Being a Christian leader is a huge privilege. It is also a huge challenge. Paul, a man who knew how tough it could be, wrote a letter to his young friend who was at a crossroads in the ministry, to encourage resilience in the spiritual battle. John Benton looks at what 2 Timothy has to say about finding strength, recovering from discouragement and keeping going as a Christian leader.

John combines careful study of 2 Timothy with the wisdom of years of experience on the frontline of church ministry. This is an incredibly helpful, realistic and faith–boosting read for all in ministry, whether you have been soldiering on for many years or are just starting out.

Bart Erlebach, Associate Vicar, Emmanuel, Tolworth, UK

Paul wrote to a young, scared and struggling Timothy, who sometimes found the ministry really hard. I am a 21st century Timothy, and therefore am so thankful to John for pointing me to the gold that’s in God’s word for weak pastors like me. If you’re a Timothy too, read this book. And if you know any Timothys, give them this book. May God use this resource to help young (and old) pastors everywhere find the much needed resilience that this book is all about.”

For pastors under pressure, John Benton brings help from 2 Timothy so that we can not only survive but grow and flourish in ministry.  John speaks from his own experience as a pastor, and his current ministry of supporting others who serve Christ’s church.  There is much wisdom here not just for pastors but all who seek to serve the Lord.

Bill James, Principal, London Seminary, London, UK

This book is a wonderful example of how God’s word speaks afresh in every generation. With a careful exegetical eye and a kind pastor’s heart, Dr Benton unpacks 2 Timothy showing us the true roots of and great need for resilience in pastoral ministry. This is an excellent resource for pastors to keep on keeping on.
