Description
'Once you have established the theological priority of being with, you need detailed examples and practical wisdom that make clear how being with transforms discipleship, ministry and mission. Those are precisely what this inspiring book provides. These pages offer a vivid and moving witness to what truly incarnational living means and to the rewards it offers.' - Samuel Wells, Vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields and author of A Nazareth Manifesto
