No Longer I?

“I have something I need to say before you go. You are the worst officer(minister) this corps(church) has ever had.” Those harsh words of indictment, spoken in judgment at the end of Howard Webber’s first Salvation Army pastorate, set the tone for his compelling lessons in practical Christian discipleship woven throughout the pages of 'No Longer I?' As Dr. Sven Ljungholm notes, Webber’s words are “a gripping tale of a disciple's life, the short term personal expectations and demands, sometimes joyfully fulfilled but mixed with unexpected and unnecessary woe.” 'Lovers of social histories such as the Call the Midwife series will enjoy the tales of trials and triumphs, peopled with a cast of true village characters'. Premier Christianity magazine.
