“Mark Dever's book serves as a shifter for leaders seeking to bring about profound reform in their churches. It provides clear, biblical answers to the many questions pastors and leaders ask on these important topics. I wish I had this manual when I began my pastoral ministry. I will recommend reading it in my classes and across the country. »
– Don Whitney, professor of biblical spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
