In the Gospels we see Jesus \u003ci\u003ebeing with\u003c\/i\u003e the people he encounters, mediating God's grace to them with his own incarnational presence. Those in ministry are likewise called to the task of \u003ci\u003ebeing with\u003c\/i\u003e--with God, with the church, and with the created world and those who dwell in it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In\u003ci\u003e Incarnational Ministry\u003c\/i\u003e Wells elaborates on the concept of \u003ci\u003ebeing with\u003c\/i\u003e in eight dimensions: presence, attention, mystery, delight, participation, partnership, enjoyment, and glory. His vivid narratives and wise reflections will challenge readers to deeper discipleship and more vital ministry as they explore what it means to \u003ci\u003ebe with\u003c\/i\u003e the troubled, the hurt, the afflicted, the challenged, the dying--and all who are embraced by the church's incarnational ministry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamuel Wells\u003c\/b\u003e is Vicar of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square, London.
