The true Christian minister stands between the living and the dead. He is authorised by the everliving God to call lost sinners who are already in shades of death up into the light of forgiveness and new life through the risen Saviour. This book, on “Beautiful Feet’’ is a prime example of leading people upwards by the grace of God. I warmly commend it.

… reminds us of, and illustrates for us, Paul’s statement that serving Christ and his people in this way is indeed ‘a noble task’.
