BOOK – Becoming a First Century Church

While so many pastors today strive for a contemporary twenty-first century church, bearing little or no resemblance to the church of the New Testament, this study takes the readers back to the very beginning to recapture the precious and powerful blessings of the Holy Spirit. This book is about the true church, its members, its order, its worship, and its methods; and it is spelled out with a liveliness that will capture and educate even the youngest reader.
