“I was delighted that Christopher Ash’s new book unpacks the overlooked exhortation of Hebrews 13 v 17—namely, that it is the responsibility of the sheep to make the shepherd's work a joy and not a burden. Christopher lays out seven ways to do so. I know of no other book like this—it is a ‘charge to the congregation’ that is more specific and practical than anything else you will find in print.” TIMOTHY KELLER,
New York City
Pastor Emeritus, Redeemer Presbyterian Church,
“Too many pastors today are discouraged, isolated and weary, and it shows in the alarming rate of drop-out from pastoral ministry. Christopher Ash has pooled his extensive experience and wisdom to produce a book that could help make a real difference. If church members and leadership teams can read this book, we could help more pastors persevere and thrive in their ministry to us.” MICHAEL REEVES,
School of Theology
President and Professor of Theology, Union
“In the short time it will take to read this book, a radical shift may well take place—a shift in orientation from asking ‘How is my pastor doing in meeting my needs?’ to ‘How am I doing in caring for my pastor?’” NANCY GUTHRIE,
Author and Bible Teacher
“ The shepherd tends the flock—we get that—but whoever thought of the flock looking after the shepherd! Christopher Ash has and, with his usual clarity and kindness, shows us what that means and why it matters.” ALISTAIR BEGG, Senior Pastor, Parkside Church, Cleveland, Ohio; Bible teacher, Truth for Life
