Becoming the church : God's people in purpose and power / Claude R. Alexander, Jr.
"Many people today have given up on the church. But God has not and does not give up on it. The church is God's idea. And once we truly understand what God has in mind for his peope, we can become who he wants us to be. Bishop Claude Alexander shows how the original Christians did not always understand what the church was supposed to be, but God worked in them anyway to become the community that he intended. After the resurrection of Jesus, his followers were transformed from disillusion and doubt to become a people of conviction and new life. The book of Acts describ3es the unfolding purposes, principles, and pracdtices discovered by the apostles as they gave themselves to Christ's call. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we too can be transformed by Jesus and model to the world what it means to know him-as the church." -- Publisher, page four of cover.
