The Ministry of Jesus

A book about the way Jesus conducted his ministry. This book makes the point that every Christian is a minister in some way, both lay and clergy - so Jesus example, defines the ministry of all Christians. This book examines the models of ministry of other groups of his time; including the Zealots, Pharisees, Essenes - and explains why Jesus rejected their model, and chose the type of ministry he did. The final chapter offers insights into Christian ministry, so that Christians can be servant ministers who will - run and not be weary. Walk and not faint.
