"Like Chalmers before him, George Scipione relies on the clear mandates of Scripture as confirmed by those God has providentially placed around prospective elders in their own local churches ... he has done it in a practical, accessible and forthright fashion ... This is a book every church ought to utilize as they seek to raise up authentically Biblical elders. It is a book every elder will want to work through again and again throughout his ministry. Indeed, it is the sequel that the work of Chalmers has long needed." George Grant, Professor of Moral Philosophy, Bannockburn College
