To Be A Good and Faithful Servant: The Life and Work of a Minister

In To Be a Good and Faithful Servant, Cecil Sherman gives his reader a truly rare treat: a handbook of the "best practices" of effective leadership delivered with his signature wit, wisdom, and faithfulness to the gospel and way of Christ. He developed his recipe for growing churches--without forgetting along the way to grow his own family and maintain his Christian character--over the span of a career marked by prophetic truth-telling, struggle, controversy and outstanding success. To Be a Good and Faithful Servant offers a window into how one pastor navigated the many daily challenges and opportunities of ministerial life and shares that wisdom with church leaders wherever they are in life--whether serving as lay leaders or as ministers just out of seminary, midway through a career, or seeking renewal after many years of service.
