Media Reviews
Leading a charity well is not a necessary evil to be endured, but a vital aspect of effective leadership and integrity for any organisation. Paul Martin's book will become a 'must read' for anyone seeking to engage in charitable endeavours well. From his excellent introduction to what a charity is all the way through to issues of good governance and due diligence, Paul sets out a road map of great clarity for those who want to ensure that what they do and the way they do is of the very highest standard. Faith, Hope & Charity is practical, accessible and deeply relevant. Its author has a wealth of experience and a deep passion for the life of charity to be vibrant, well-structured and built upon excellent foundations. I cannot commend it highly enough. Every trustee and leader of a charity should buy this book, read it, discuss it with their board and make it a consistent companion in discussions and decisions about how to do things well.; Malcolm Duncan Senior Pastor of Gold Hill Baptist church and Chairman of Spring Harvest.
