As an elder, do you sense it's God's will for you to serve?

Answer His Call is the first volume in the powerful series of 4 books on the leadership of elders in the congregation written by James Estep, David Roadcup, and Gary Johnson.

In this volume the divine call of the elder to serve as a leader within the congregation is addressed.  Chapter 1 addresses the nature of the call placed on an elder's life as a leader within the congregation.  Chapter 2 speaks of the spiritual conversion and transformation necessary in the life of an elder.  The qualifications for eldership are surveyed in Chapter 3, while Chapter 4 provides models for the elder selection process.  Chapter 5 introduces us to the idea of elder governance, what role and function an eldership plays in the life of a congregation.  The final chapter discusses the value and importance of having elders, spiritually and pastorally, through peer evaluations.

"Since the Bible specifies elders to be the overseers of the church and since we are a people who respect The Book, we need to consider how to make the God-given system work more effectively. 1 Timothy 3, Titus 1, and 1 Peter 5 are in the Bible for a purpose. The problem isn't with God design, it's with our implementation of His plan.

That's why this book about the role of eldership is desperately needed and can be extremely helpful. James Estep, David Roadcup, and Gary Johnson have the theological credentials and practical experience to shed some light on how God intended His church to be shepherded. Jesus Christ is still the only hope of the world, the church is still His body on the earth, elders are still the pastors of His flock and the time in which we live demand the best we can give. So study and implement the principles set forth in this book so the church can be as the Lord intended it to be -- a city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden."
