FATHERING LEADERS, MOTIVATING MISSION
Restoring the role of the apostle in today’s church
By David Devenish. Authentic Media. 338 pages. £8.99

The thesis of this stimulating book is that there are apostles in the church today, and that their service is vital to the health of Christ’s body and the effective worldwide spread of the gospel.
Working on that novel and highly debatable premise, David Devenish works carefully through the wealth of New Testament material about the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul and seeks to use it as a pattern for the ministry of those who are generally recognised as fathers in the wider church and pioneers in international mission.
