'One of the profound gifts in life is to learn from others who are further on the journey than ourselves. Tony offers this valuable gift. This is a brilliant book, rich with his life story, and all the more helpful as each chapter offers key reflections on crucial developmental and formational topics. You will find yourself somewhere in this book and have a road map for what is ahead. Here is a book worthy of deeper reflection.' Scott E. Shaum, director of pastoral advancement, Barnabas International 'Footsteps of Faith is more than Tony's wonderfully full and authentic life story - it holds deep and rich wisdom from someone living a life abandoned to the glory of God. There is much insight here for anyone navigating life and particularly those in church leadership. The book is well informed and provides opportunity to reflect on one's own season of life. I wholeheartedly recommend Footsteps of Faith.' Morne Smit, pastor, God First Church, Christchurch 'This is a wonderful book for every stage of life, whether reflectively looking back, managing the present, or preparing for the future. It's backed by solid research but reads easily, good narrative as well as specific points to slow down and consider, with a challenge to think carefully and respond healthily. It's heartwarming without ducking difficulties. The reality of God's faithfulness within the ups and down of the Christian life, working with churches and mission agencies, is helpfully considered. God wants to work in us for change and through us for fruitfulness. We learn about ""falling into grace"", and becoming more than doing. This is a book to read and benefit from, then to pass on to others.' Alan Tower, Friends International National director (UK)
