Equipped To Serve

Richard Bewes has produced another treasure-a masterpiece of practical Christianity... A special gift.

Richard Bewes is a long-distance runner and a true soldier of the Lord... I would urge all to read it and obtain extra copies for others.

Written with Richard's typical wit and clarity, this book is very enjoyable, edifying and personally challenging.

Richard Bewes' passion to help equip us for effective service, leadership and teamwork is highly infectious.

This book is a great resource for the church, full of biblical insight and practical wisdom.

Through it all, the heart of a shepherd is modelled, explained and gently pressed upon us.

Equipped to Serve is a gift to the church. It is a very readable, practical and deeply Christ-centred book, the fruit of a lifetime of serving our Saviour. It is the sort of book that can be read in just a few sittings, but has a message that will take a lifetime to exhaust.

I can't think of anyone who has Richard Bewes' capacity for the telling detail; who is his equal in the helpful development of an idea and in the apt illustration drawn both from wide reading and a wide experience of life and Christian ministry. Many a time I was not only moved, but moved to tears. as Richard brought me to the feet of Jesus, wrote of His centrality, all-sufficiency, supremacy, glory and coming again. I find myself renewed in appreciation and understanding of the Cross, more deeply convinced and in love with the Bible, more penitent and regretful of my past and present, more determined about prayer, more knowledgeable, more equipped - and more aware of Jesus. A truly great and effective piece of writing!

This book is a pleasure to read from start to finish...strong meat given in easily digestible portions.
