In the church at the moment there is a renewed emphasis on
missional growth, both in numbers and in regard to spiritual depth.
But resources are few and to evaluate `effectiveness' we see an
increasing adoption of scales and measures to test and encourage
that growth (for example the Renewal and Reform agenda in the
Church of England). Though good and to be welcomed, the challenge
for church leaders is to be ambitious for the Kingdom, whilst
keeping hold of their souls. This book will examine biblical
perspectives on ambition and success, particularly from the point
of view of Jesus and the gospels. It will affirm what is
praiseworthy in the current emphasis on church growth, whilst
challenging the creep of more secular assumptions about what it
looks like to be successful.
