Building Up One Another (One Another Series) [Paperback]

Gene A. Getz (Author)

Book Description

Series: One Another Series | Publication Date: January 29, 2002

The body of Christ can’t be all that it should be unless we mature in our interpersonal relationships as the Bible commands. Building Up One Another has been helping believers do just that since 1976, when Gene Getz first published what has since become a best-selling classic. This book, the cornerstone of the well-known “One Another Series,” has now been thoroughly updated and rewritten, drawing upon Dr. Getz’s church planting and “building up” experience. It also includes a personal and group study.

Explore with Dr. Getz twelve significant “one another” commands of the New Testament, and follow the practical steps for developing them in your own life and in the life of your church. It’s a long-term building process, but one that pleases God and reaps rewards not just in this lifetime but in the next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Building Up On Another, February 9, 2008

Gene Getz writes in an easy to follow manner using examples from his own experiences to convey the message of the Jesus commandment to love one another. Getz stresses that a practical and authentic application of Biblical principles changes the doer first in terms of his perspective and attitude toward others within the context of the body of Christ. We often take love for granted in our personal and religious experiences. Getz admonishes the reader to be true to himself and to engage the issues that often cripple our ability to be all that Christ intended. The local church and the universal church need to engage in this timeless study to ensure that her perspective remains relevant and her tools and skillsets are finetuned to meet the needs of the least of these who may be in the next pew.

This book was a "hand me down from my father". After he passed away, I took the time to read it and realized that he applied much of this book to his life. The idea of giving of one's life to ultimately care for the body was truly demonstrated by my God fearing and serving missionary father.

How many of us are worried about building up one another? It usually isn't even on our Christian radar most of the time. This book highlights why God says it should be. Don't we want to be known as someone who is encouraging others? Wouldn't that be a great way for Christ to remember your life on earth? That you encouraged others? Like thte rest of the series, this is simple but potentially life changing - for you and all those you come in contact with.
