Jesus at Work

About the Book

In "Jesus at Work: A Call to the People of God," Peter J. Blackburn lays out four major themes: Building His Church (not our denomination), Growing His Body (not our corporation), Gathering His Harvest (not the spasmodic “outreach”), and Coming Again (a goal and end-point to the mission). This book challenges many of the assumptions of modern-day churches who are still, he asserts, dogged by the quest to be “the greatest.”
