The Revelation of John ends the Bible, but is just the beginning for today's Christians around the world. With Portrait of the Bride, Mary Ann Bishop paints the picture of what "the Church" really means and how we can build it effectively in a movement that is spiritually healthy. John tells us the bridegroom receives a bride that is beautifully prepared-how do we accomplish that in a modern global society? As the Kingdom of God grows, there are new beginnings all around; this book will help you understand clearly the origins of the Church and its main components as laid out in God's word. With so much devastation and debate, one can easily look around and feel all is lost. Glory to God for His mighty ability to rescue the lost and to use us as His instruments in this great work
