An extract from John Benton’s new book Resilient: how 2 Timothy teaches us to bounce back in Christian leadership
His name was Tony.
He was married, the father of five children and he worked as a civil servant. He was one of the most tenacious men I ever knew. He was a deacon and then an elder of the church of which I was pastor before he moved on to help lead a church replanting project in which we were involved. Now he is with the Lord.
