Description
The Body and Blood: The Body of Christ in the Life of the Community by Andrew R. Hardy and Keith Foster explores the church's mission to engage with society beyond traditional places of worship. For too long, the church has failed to equip its members for missionary work in public spaces, such as coffee shops and shopping malls. This book argues that every member must be trained to become a hands-on expression of God's love, equipping churches to mobilize their communities towards the kingdom of God. The authors contend that places are crucial to the Lord of mission, and that churches must adapt to become effective agents for mission in everyday life. The Body and Blood challenges churches to re-equip themselves, focusing on every member's role in spreading the message of God's generosity. By doing so, they aim to extend the kingdom of God into the lives of those who have not yet encountered Christ. This book is a call to action for churches to rethink their approach to mission and community engagement, equipping every member to become a vital part of the missional body of Christ.
