Challenging the traditional approaches, the author also boldly asserts that this is the way Jesus did ministry, and that what Jesus did, we can do also  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book takes the focus of Christian ministry and turns it 180 degrees, insisting that the most significant ministry events in our lives, as in Jesus', will not be experienced in church meetings but will be found outside of traditional church meetings, as we learn to focus our attention on the encounters that we have with people every day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book offers practical steps to help prepare Christian believers to do the works of Jesus on a daily basis. Readers will be challenged to move \u003ci\u003enow\u003c\/i\u003e into lives of fulfilling and empowering ministry that they may have desired, but never thought possible; offering practical guidance to get them started.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Drake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spirit of Wisdom Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780989850902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlan Drake is a career educator with over 25 years' experience in public education.
