Serving without Sinking
Serving without Sinking is a remarkable book by church-planter and first-time author John Hindley. With a disarming personal honesty and devastating aplomb, he diagnoses the rotten motivations that so commonly fuel Christian life and service, and shows how Christians can serve Christ with joy instead of resentment, reluctance or burn-out. I'm not aware of another book that manages to combine so much insight with such sheer, fun readability. All in all, it makes for a uniquely useful book for any Christian who is weary, bruised, or proud. --- Michael Reeves, Head of Theology, UCCFThis fresh, warm, honest, book did me good. It is richly filled with grace, informed by a gritty realism, and shot through with pastoral perceptiveness. There is something in it for every Christian man and woman at every stage of life. --Christopher Ash, Director of the Proclamation Trust's Cornhill Training Course and author of Pure Joy and Married for GodI am so glad someone wrote this book. It is easy for church service to degenerate into a burdensome exercise in works righteousness here is good news for anyone who wants to avoid betterness or burn-out. I m commending this to every elder, deacon and ministry elder in our congregation. --Mike McKinley, Pastor of Guilford Baptist Church, Virginia; author of Passion and Church Planting is for Wimps
