David Robert Tomlinson is Area Dean of Saffron Walden and Team Rector of the Saffron Walden and Villages Team Ministry in North West Essex. During almost 25 years of ordained ministry he has gained significant experience and expertise in managing change and resolving conflict in church communities. Stephen Cottrell is Bishop of Chelmsford.
Tomlinson is to be commended for his desire to see deepening discipleship and growing spiritual maturity. His book will repay careful and critical reading. -- Maurice Elliott * Search Journal * This is an impressively wise and original book on church leadership. Its suggestions arise from the author's many years' experience of parish life. The examples he gives of situations in the life of the church left me nodding wryly in recognition - on one occasion, I actually wondered whether he had visited my church! This speaking out of experience lends weight to his recommendations. ... I trusted this author from the opening pages, because his advice resonated so closely with my lived experience as a minister. I have learned so much from his distilled wisdom - not just about leading my church, but also about how I function as a leader, and why I react as I do in certain situations. I would recommend this book without hesitation to any minister or ministerial student. -- Rosa Hunt * The Baptist Times *
