Preaching & Worship

“What is the place of preaching today, in a modern, multi-media context? Tima Cheprasov's sympathetic yet objectively critical study in the challenges of preaching, rooted in the narrative of cultural and ecclesial changes within a Russian context, provides preachers and leaders across the world church with a valuable platform to reflect on the place of preaching today, whatever context we are embedded within. I happily commend this book to those who would reflect on such things.”

Shaped for Service

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Marrying huge experience in managing ministers with a deeply incisive and well-informed mind, Goodliff offers us an essential reader for ministerial formation and continuing development. He rightly perceives the Achilles heel of ministerial living: the formation and implementation of a robust ethic that is true to our Lord. This is treasured reading for those who care for the instruction, supervision, and practice of Christian ministry.”
