Publisher Description
The ministry is a journey. A journey of faith. A journey of grace. A journey of balance.
But too often it has been marked by carnal divisions, unbalanced practices, and graceless relationships.
How do we get back on track? What are the steps to authentic ministry that exalts Christ, fulfills the Great Commission, and is directed by servant leaders?
Written for independent Baptists who are intent on pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, The Road Ahead lays out ten steps to authentic ministry—ministry directed by faith, grace, and truth.
If you are a biblical Baptist who cherishes truth, cares about revival, and is concerned for the testimony of Christ, this book is for you. Although we serve in challenging days, the road ahead will be blessed if we make Jesus our target, seek God's face, and are willing to make mid-course adjustments on the journey.

Precisely Stated
Paul Chappell's book "The Road Ahead" has been recommended by several of my friends.
They have seen the struggle in my life since my return from missions work in Africa back to ministry in America. I am one of the younger men (early 40s) in ministry that Chappell refers to in this book that is concerned about the future of the IFB movement. I bought a hard copy of the book last fall but never read it. I downloaded a copy for my iPad Sunday night and read the book in 3 days. I enjoy the book so much I just couldn't put it down.
Chappell's attempt to explain who we are, where we came from, and what we need to do to move forward and succeed for the cause of Christ - is so precisely accurate to what I personally think and feel it was as if he somehow vacuumed up my thoughts on these matters and poured them out on these pages.
Every independent baptist pastor and college student needs to read this book. I bought 10 copies yesterday to give away to all my men in leadership in our church. I will order more to give away to pastor friends along the way.
