Grace and Glory

Description

This is the story of one local church told by the man who has for over 25 years pastored and led the many people who now call it home. From small and hesitant beginnings, over those years, Stephen Jonathan has become a visionary leader and a champion of hope – hope for people and hope for the town and communities of Tamworth. Behind the inspirational headlines of the stories of growth, Stephen tells openly and honestly of the blood, sweat and tears along the way.
I am delighted Stephen has written this book. He is a rare breed – a thoughtful and disciplined scholar with a deep love for teaching God’s Word. Yet, he is also a sleeves-rolled-up practical pastor and community leader. The Grace and Glory Stephen writes about is not mere theory to him. He has seen the evidence of that Grace in the lives of so many people who have come into contact with the love of God through the courageous and compassionate outreach of the church. I hope that many church leaders will read it and that many churches will begin to believe afresh for the transformation of their local community.
