Those holding positions of responsibility in local churches today have an onerous task. The need for godly elders has never been greater. Here is a book which will encourage and help and inspire those who hold such offices. It is true that the fortunes of the assembly are decided in large measure by those who hold responsibility in it. The author draws on the history of the kingdom of Israel in its earliest days to illustrate the importance of godly elders. Against the background of 1 and 2 Samuel, Mr McShane provides many valuable lessons for all who take up the oversight of the local church.
