Ce livre permet la découverte en France d'un photographe britannique majeur : Tom Wood. Il rend ici hommage aux femmes, à leurs vies de mères, de soeurs, de filles, à cette complicité intime et à cette humanité qui les relie. Tantôt posés et tantôt saisis dans les rues de Liverpool, en noir et blanc ou auréolés de sa palette de couleurs si particulière, les portraits de Tom Wood offrent une plongée réjouissante dans l'Angleterre pop des années 70/80.
Pendant près de 40 ans, le photographe britannique Tom Wood a immortalisé la vie des habitants de la ville de Liverpool et des alentours. Travaillant différents types de films et d'appareil, il explore les possibilités qu'offre la photographie en même temps qu'il dresse un portrait du quotidien d'une ville du Nord de l'Angleterre.
Depuis 1975, Tom Wood photographie de manière obsessionnelle tout ce qui vit autour de lui : les rues de Birkenhead, où il habite, en banlieue de Liverpool, les passagers du bus qu'il emprunte quotidiennement d'abord, pour aller travailler, puis de manière compulsive pendant des années, comme pour répondre à sa soif de regarder le monde en photographie.
Plusieurs responsables de nos Églises sont découragés et déprimés devant l'ampleur de la tâche de diriger et de servir le peuple de Dieu. En réalité, tous les responsables - y compris les pasteurs - ont besoin d'une personne qui les aidera dans leur quotidien et leur rôle de leader en les encourageant, en les reprenant et en les soutenant avec des paroles de sagesse.
Dans ce livre, Scott Thomas et Tom Wood proposent une forme de coaching qui est principalement centrée sur l'Évangile. Dans cet objectif, les auteurs ne se limitent pas à décrire les critères et les techniques pour être un berger ou un coach efficace, mais ils expliquent comment ces pratiques doivent être motivées par un coeur que l'Évangile a transformé.
Cette ressource sera utile aux pasteurs et aux leaders, afin qu'ils conduisent le troupeau de Dieu dans sa mission, à la manière de Jésus-Christ, le bon berger, c'est-à-dire avec amour et pour la gloire de Dieu.
