Passing the Baton offers an insightful account of the legacy of Christian stewardship and how the life, times and family heritage of Bishop Ajayi Crowther, served as a true model of Christian discipleship. Ministerial succession is a central trope in this fascinating work and the author brilliantly probes into the pros and cons of its meaning in ancient and modern period in African Christian history. The book brings out memories of Christian leadership in Nigerian church history, particularly in the era of the rightly guarded church leaders who toiled selflessly in God's vineyard. Archbishop Akinfenwa's compelling text is a must read in seminaries, churches, universities and places concerned with the future of the church in Africa and the world.
