"As a resident of a planet thoroughly saturated with self-centeredness run amok, I can think of few topics needing to be discussed more than that of authority. ...immensely readable and practical, this book offers an excellent model of how one must analyse and synthesize biblical theology and apply it to life."

"...spiritually and intellectually stimulating. The essence of leadership is captured in the volume and should be considered by all aspiring to the role."

"...a perceptive and accurate analysis of contemporary culture together with a robust challenge to the church."

"...a thoroughly counter-cultural, transformingly revolutionary, and deeply Christian re-appraisal of the good and wise gift of God-ordained authority structures. Kitchen calls us back to submit to God's mandate of submission and authority in all, but in only, the ways God has designed for his glory and for our highest well being and joy."
