With a Shepherd's Heart: Reclaiming the Office of Elder by John R. Sittema

Endorsement:

Dr. Sittema's book stands out among books on the office of elder. What makes the book so valuable is that is is orgainzed in such a way that it can be used as a study guide. In my congregation we used it as a training manual for potential elders and are planning to use it in the future as ongoing education at monthly elder meetings. In a day in which authority is slighted so often, this book will help the rulers of the church stand as an authoritative voice while at the same time doing so with a shepherd's heart.  -- Rev. Daniel R. Hyde
