The true self finds peace in resting in the love of God, in the peace which Jesus promises. Jesus says to each of us in ministry, 'As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide, rest, dwell, in my love' (John 15:9).
This book will seek to show what this might mean for those in Christian ministry in the 21st century.
Following on from the success of The Contemplative Minister, Ian Cowley offers new insight and greater depth for Church leaders in a distracted world.
He emphasises that the true self finds peace in resting in the love of God and encourages ministers to minister to themselves as well as to others, ensuring that, in the peace which Jesus promises, their spiritual lives don't run dry amid the pressures of the job.
A must-read for contemplative leaders wanting to stay the course.
