"Andrew Mayes's book is a treasure trove of insights for everyone involved in ministerial formation. It brings together a much-needed analysis of the concept of formation in different Church traditions and texts with an empirical study of perspectives from recently ordained ministers and college and course staff. His concluding recommendations are at once highly practical and deeply challenging; they should be studied carefully by anyone involved in planning programmes for Christian ministry. The book models the integration it commends of intellectual inquiry, practical engagement and prayerful reflection."--Jeremy Worthen, South East Institute for Theological Education
