It's a new year, and if you're looking for a new book to read on Christian leadership then you can really do no better than looking at this new book by Paul Tripp.
If you're familiar with Paul Tripp's work on marriage and on parenting, you'll know that he keeps the gospel central. And yet how often do we fail to do that in our
ministries? We preach a gospel of grace, but we live even in our service of that by a gospel of works.
