Book Description

Publication Date: June 2007
The book of Acts serves as our playbook for ministry as it prepares us for the active presence of God.

Studying the book of Arts takes us back to the future. It shows the church how to trust in the active presence of God and inspire people to move from being mere members to bold disciples. As members become disciples of faith, they experience the unstoppable power of disciplined growth and divine purpose in Christian living.

Format:Paperback
Churches are sometimes no different than mainstreet businesses. They focus on getting more people into the doors and in the pews, hoping to covert them regular members. Once they are regular members they can become regular financial givers to the church programs. This falacious thinking has led to the general decline of most Christian faiths today.

Pastor Michael Foss uses the New Testament book of Acts to demonstrate that it is more important to have Disciples in the congregation than to have members. Members take up space, but Disciples create more space by reaching out to others. This small easy-to-read book of Leadership Lessons is something that all church leaders (as well as leaders of other charitable organizations) should read and take to heart.

Stuart Gustafson, author of Parables for Life in the 21st Century
