Review title: Very fine book on the Office of Elder
Product review: This is a book, I think, every Christian church member and leader should read. Far too often in my Christian experience in North American evangelical churches, it seems to me that a lot of church "elders" haven't a clue as to what the pastoral office of Christian elder is all about. "Elders" who think / act primarily in terms of "administration" in a business sense will clearly fall short of the mark and fail the people in their charge. Dr. Sittema points out with great clarity and firm scriptural support what it means to have a "shepherd's heart". The book includes "case study" examples from his own pastoral experience that helped drive the point home with me.
