Overview
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.

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.

I am so grateful, as one in the early days of ministry, that John has put in black and white sound and earthy wisdom from God’s word on how to joyfully persevere in ministry for the long term. I can only thank him for writing it and encourage others in ministry to read it!
