Christ And His People by Mark Ashton

Christ And His People by Mark Ashton

What should be the core principles for a local church? Mark Ashton writes about his eight heartfelt convictions about the local church - the centrality of the Bible and prayer; expository preaching; every member having a ministry and existing for the sake of others. These convictions are illustrated with stories from church life at the Round Church, Cambridge, where he served as pastor.

Mark Ashton was vicar of the Church of the Holy Sepulchure in Cambridge from 1987 until his death in 2010He writes dearly, simply, but above all biblica1Jy, about the priorities for local church life. Don't be put off by the fact that his ministry was in a large student church. The principles he elaborates apply to any church in any context. This book deserves to be read, whether you are a minister or member of a congregation. You
will not come away disappointed.

-- Phil Lo Bao, Evangelicals Now

Mark Ashton minded the business God gave him, and I am thankful beyond words that his pastoral wisdom shines forth in the pages of this little book. He, being dead, yet speaks, and we do well to listen.

-- D. A. Carson (Emeritus Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois)

Reading this wonderful book has reminded me how many of my priorities have been significantly shaped by his example, from sitting under his feet when he first arrived at the Round Church, and by his teaching. All who read it will be challenged, as I was, to sharpen their focus and raise their standards for the great benefit of the church and the glory of God.

-- Vaughan Roberts (Rector of St Ebbe's, Oxford and Director of Proclamation Trust)

Mark Ashton (1948-2010) was the Pastor of the Round Church in Cambridge. He was one of the most influential evangelical pastor-teachers of his generation.
