"Somervill and Cummings have done the impossible! Here is a text on leadership in the church that reads like a novel so that one cannot put it down. Important principles of interpersonal relationships are presented, not in the usual dry, academic fashion but through the story of Henry P. Whittimore. First as a pastor of a church of about 200, then as associate pastor in a second congregation, and finally as head of staff in a third, Henry learns some of the dynamics of attitude change that are crucial for effective leadership."-Grayson L. Tucker, Jr., Anderson Professor of Pastoral Theology and Professor of Church Administration and Evangelism, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary
