Gatiss’s faithful exposition and insightful application conveys the power of God’s word to revive pastors and pastors–to–be for such a perilous time as this. It will kindle ‘fire in your bones’ for the gospel – its defence and its proclamation!
Rennis Ponniah, Former Bishop of Singapore
Lee Gatiss opens the Word of God in these epistles with a comprehensive depth and in a manner that will bring clarity and confidence to the reader. This book is a treasure for both lay and ordained.
Julian Dobbs, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of the Living Word in North America
… a stirring call from 2 Timothy and Titus for ministers to have confidence in the gospel and to be willing to suffer for it. Gatiss highlights the vital need for ministers who exhibit Christ–like character and practice personal godliness and purity.
John Stevens, National Director, Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches, Market Harborough, Leicestershire
If you are exploring the idea of paid gospel ministry, or you have been a minister for many years: get this short commentary, dig into 2 Timothy and Titus, and be mightily encouraged. Dr Gatiss offers so many realistic insights to the challenges of ministry from the text that will help you be better prepared for the long haul.
Andy Fenton, Director of 9:38: Raising Up Global Workers
This biblical exposition of the Pastoral Epistles arose of out practical experience, and experience in teaching others to teach others. It is a valuable guide and encouragement for both pastors and laity, and is written in a style which all can easily understand. We warmly recommend its use in the church.
Ben Kwashi, Former Bishop of Jos, Nigeria; GAFCON General Secretary
… clearly addresses the present context and his strong and lively words challenge us to live and speak for Christ however unpopular that may be. Read it to be strengthened.
Peter Jensen, Retired Archbishop of Sydney, Sydney, Australia
Paul’s words to Timothy, ‘fulfil your ministry,’ are as relevant and urgent today as they were when Paul first wrote them. As I eye the finish line, I am grateful to Lee Gatiss for drawing me back again and again to Paul’s words and for helping me think through their application both for myself and for those of the next generation that I am privileged to train.
