Weems, Jr., distinguished professor of church leadership, Wesley Theological Seminary The still, small voice of God tells me not to be afraid. Susan Beaumont's book tells me how.

Drummond, founding dean, Andover Newton Seminary Susan Beaumont has written a book that gives great insight on a time in the church that seems both precarious and hopeful. By naming the characteristics and markers of liminality she gives a name to what has already changed, and why many church leaders feel unsettled. But then she continues on, in a way that only someone with her coaching and leadership experience can, to give clear examples and case studies of how leaders can listen to the Holy Spirit to be led through the mist to the future through leadership development and communal discernment. I am grateful for her thoughtful work in this area. -- Dawn Alitz, Luther Seminary Leadership in today's world has more unknown and never-seen-before challenges. When we look at the old models and solutions, the answers simply no longer work. What is a leader to do? Understanding why leadership is different from ever before is the starting point to success.
