About this ebook

This is a unique book. A combination of profound truths, presented in narrative and biblical theology, along with perceptive insight from a fathering heart, combine to bring an authoritative, apostolic message to the Body of Christ.

This cut-through teaching, coming from a seasoned, mature, apostolic voice, is timely. In making clear the Word of our Lord Jesus and the words of His apostles, it calls for a profound change in the visible structure of the Church, and in the way we live out the expressed values of Christianity.

To embrace the biblical imperative of establishing City Elderships would fly in the face of much vested interest in the Church. But vested interest does not stand in the judgement day. We must live, rather, by the fear of the Lord.

This is a good book. It comes from a good heart that desires to see Christ have his Church, and see the Body be one as Christ always. Some parts will undoubtedly contain new ideas for people, but don't just read it, think it through and allow the Holy Spirit to work in you for His purposes. The book is well written and I believe will produce change in the Church universal. The application of this book requires people, pastors, congregations and denominations to give up some things. There will need to be laying down of interests for the sake of others. The book calls for it, and as we follow the example of Christ in laying down our lives for the sake of others, life will emerge. Please read it, and have an open heart as you do.

This book displays how and why a biblical city eldership should be established. Rock solid arguments backed up by scripture and real life examples. This book holds the key to church blessing and protection. I will be reading it again soon as there is so much here to soak in. Highly recommend.
