About the Author

Reviews
A superb book on failure . . . humorous, realistic and absolutely not judgemental. -- Justin Welby on FAILURE
Be encouraged by Bishop Emma's advice and inspired by her wisdom and humour. -- Justin Welby, on AMBITION
Ineson's gentle humour, honesty, and obvious faith help us to begin to work out why Donald Trump's dividing of people into "winners" and "losers" is an evil humiliation and shaming of those who do not sit at influential tables or whose fragilities and fractures run deep. Ineson is, at the end of the day, a theologian of sensitive hope. * Mark Oakley, Church Times on FAILURE *
An incisive, persuasive and refreshing take on leadership, Ambition reflects wide experience and scholarly depth yet is topical and accessible to all. Emma redefines the meaning of ambition in the life of a Christian, redeeming the concept from its associations of success measured in numbers. -- Archbishop Thabo Makgoba, on AMBITION
Bishop Emma Ineson provides an antidote to current approaches to success, ambition and effectiveness . . . Leaders of all denominations will find her approach refreshing, performance anxiety reducing and deeply practical as she outlines how the "beatitudes for ambitious leaders" can keep us Kingdom focused and Christ-centric in the most demanding of roles. -- Simon Barrington, Founder and Director, Forge Leadership Consultancy, on AMBITION
Emma writes with insight, honesty, passion and humour on big themes, such as ambition, power and authority, helping us look at them through the lens of faith. -- Kate Wharton, Assistant National Leader for New Wine, on AMBITION
Courageous, witty and self-effacing . . . if you have ambition to live as if the kingdom is near - read this! -- Bishop Jill Duff, on AMBITION
