The opportunities for work in the church far exceed what any one person can do. And the New Testament clearly teaches that every Christian should minister. But how can church leaders effectively and safely hand over spiritual responsibilities to "amateurs"? Here is a book that is faithful to the New Testament model of every-member ministry while detailing how the laity can: Teach and learn the Bible Provide guidance in the marketplace Conduct small groups Evangelize neighborhoods Pastor the sick and hurting Help wounded marriages Lead worship Work for justice in society A practical and hopeful book chock-full of examples from a variety of churches. For pastors and laypersons ready to "graciously conspire to find the best way to release the full potential of the church." R. Paul Stevens teaches at Regent College/Carey Theological College in Vancouver, British Columbia. His many books include Liberating the Laity and Marriage Spirituality.
