{"product_id":"the-church-that-works-9781616583750","title":"The Church That Works","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Church That Works: Democracy vs. Theocracy is a focus on how giving back His church releases followers of Jesus Christ to serve and unleashes Gods power to back them. When authority rises from the people  the enabling power for ministry goes no higher than their heads. When authority flows from the Head of the Church through the offices He gave  it brings His power  all power in Heaven and earth  to bear on human needs. The church that works wins its own children  reaches its neighbors  blesses its community  and makes God known to its generation  and the next  around the world. That church necessarily will be one in which the people  not just the clergy  do the work of the ministry. More than a body of believers  the church is a body of Christian workers. When the people falter in ministry  the church fails in its mission. The church cannot work if the people who are called to lead are forced to follow or if those called to follow are trying to lead. The Church That Works explores giving Real Power to the People. Chapters include: How Churches Become Deacon-Possessed  When Churches Are Deacon-Blessed  and Becoming a Church that Works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67622356123701,"sku":"ByrdShop_1616583754","price":36.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781616583750.jpg?v=1791557407","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-church-that-works-9781616583750","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
