No one doubts that we are all flawed people, but in our social-media driven, polarized society, we often fall into the trap of categorising people as wholly good or wholly bad. In reality, everyone is a mix of the two. What’s more, we realise that God loves and calls people in spite of their faults and failings, and that we’re still not ‘good’ enough to qualify.
Drawing on years of careful study and pastoral ministry, Bishop of Plymouth James Grier reveals the ways in which the heroes of scripture are more like us than we realise, with both their God-given strengths and profound weaknesses. The book is in four parts: exploring the beginning of leadership in Genesis, through Moses, the first two Kings and finally Jesus’ apostles. Bishop James, along with his wife Liz, adds to this teaching with insights and anecdotes from their own experiences.

This is a book for anyone who is trying, with varying degrees of success, to follow Jesus, whether as a leader or simply as a follower. It will offer reassurance to those who have been shaken by the failure of a leader, aspire to step into leadership themselves or are just trying to lead where they are. It asks questions of our hearts and attitudes, and it provides practical encouragement as we seek to follow God and become more like him, despite our shortcomings.
The world needs leaders! Normal, Imperfect Heroes reminds us that through his transformational grace, God raises up and uses unlikely people for his purposes. I pray that this book will encourage a surge of leaders to step forward humbly but confidently.”

James is a Devon boy and hugely proud of it. He still can’t quite believe that God has brought him home to be Bishop of Plymouth. He’s married to Liz, the beauty and brains of the marriage, and they have two fantastic sons, Josh and Toby, and a wonderful daughter-in-law, Rebeccah. He’s been ordained for over half his life and in that time they have served in large urban churches, small rural ones and started a church to reach young people with little or no experience of faith.
Liz is married to James and has the same children. She’s also author of another book, Beginning Unlimited (Instant Apostle, 2018). She’s a scientist, harpist and theologian. When she’s not being clever, she’ll be sea swimming!
