What book could you read over and over again?
I’ve read this book many times and will read it several more times.
Why? It was the first book I read that taught me that Christians are the ones that do the work of the church, not the pastor and his staff.
I had been raised to believe that if any “spiritual” work needed to be done, you called the preacher.
This book turned that idea on its ear. WE are the body of Christ and WE are the ones to be doing the work of Christ.
From that, it flowed that the Sunday sermon should not just be a salvation message because the work of leading a soul to Christ happens outside the church, by the laity.
The sermon then, is a discipleship sermon, helping the Christian to grow in their faith.
If you’ve ever attended a church where the pastor preached a salvation message EACH AND EVERY Sunday, you will understand why this book was (and still is) such a big deal.
