'The Smell of Sheep' attempts to recover the 'romance' and enthusiasm that often accompanies the pastor's initial calling to ministry and emphasizes the need for serving the people with excellence and transparency. At a time when even within the ranks of Christian leadership many people are primarily lovers of themselves, motivated by vanity and self-gratification, we need to be reminded of our primary mission: The shepherding of the sheep.

At some point, everyone contemplates the 'meaning of life.' All over the world, people are on a quest to find answers as they search for someone or something to believe in. In Brian Houston's book, For This I Was Born, he says that to know the Cause of Christ is to understand why you were born, to know what you are living for, and to decide what you are prepared to die for. If you do not know the meaning of life, he says, you will never live a life of meaning. Houston desires that each of his readers come to know the cause of Christ. His Cause, he says, is the key that opens us to new places of vision, passion, strength, and reason for living. Brian and his wife Bobbie are the senior pastors of what is possibly Australia's largest church, Hillsong Church in Sydney, which has a growing congregation of over 18,000 people. They also oversee the extended ministries that include Hillsong Music, Hillsong Conferences and the International Leadership College. Hillsong Television is broadcast in over 180 nations.

Since the end of the 20th century, we have been hearing from those who believe that God has restored the office of apostle in the church. Many have embraced this 'Apostolic Reformation' and changed their church government accordingly. Others have felt that their ministry is that of an 'apostle' and have looked for ways to make this a reality. Jaime Mazurek, with objectivity and strength, examines this movement by looking at it from three perspectives: history, hermeneutics, and theology.
