| Description: |
Subtitled "How the Community of God Transforms Lives", this book challenges Christians to embrace Trinitarian spirituality as the basis for exceptional Christian community. Focusing on daily living, it engages the ideas of writers such as John Calvin and Henri Nouwen in a discussion of how living in the light of the Trinity can transform communal life. Intended for pastors and church leaders, this book puts forth an ancient biblical imperative: "As God is, so the church should be. As God does, the church should do. The more the church is like God, the more individuals souls will become like Christ. Bolsinger says that the primary purpose of this book is to influence change at the level of congregational daily living. It is offered for the specific intention of assisting pastors and leaders to create the kind of Christian communities in which God mystically transforms believers together into the likeness of Christ. Forming people into exceptional Christians - persons to model Christian faith effectively to seekers- requires forming exceptional communities. This book offers a vision and some suggestions for developing an exceptional Christian life. |
