If you are seeking to find your place in the body of Christ, identify your gifts and ministry, and understand what your vocation really is, then look no further than Heaven's Answer to Earth's Dilemma. This remarkably insightful book begins by discussing the need for changing the church from a traditional Greek worldview (where ministry is confined within the institution of the church) to a Hebraic worldview (the pilgrim church, where ministry permeates every part of daily life). Gray identifies five creational spheres (relationships that connect us to God): Marriage, Family, Work, Tribe, and Nation. By embracing these spheres of relationship we not only encounter God in every aspect of life, but demonstrate to all creation of what it means to be a people of God in society. The book discusses how each of us can identify our role in the Body of Christ by identifying our grace-aligned vocation and our motivations. Lisa Limbrick - Alive Magazine |
