For too long the body of Christ has been waiting for a revival or the rapture, but let me tell you the good news: The greatest move of God we have all been waiting for is right here in the midst of us. In fact, it started almost two thousand years ago! It is called the kingdom movement.

The study of the evolution of church structure and order has been subject to considerable research and debate, often with theological presuppositions determining the direction taken. In this highly original work, Bengt Holmberg separates historical groundwork from theological analysis by reviewing the issues from a sociological point of view. What emerges is an unusually lucid study of the network of power relationships which can be traced in the decades of St. Paul's ministry. The principal actors and situations in the Pauline Epistles suggest what the organizational and leadership realities of the times were like and how Paul, his co-workers, and his churches related to one another. In Part One, Holmberg provides a historical description of the distribution of power at three levels in the primitive church: that between the church in Jerusalem and the apostle Paul; at the regional level where Paul operates in local churches personally, through co-workers and by letters; and at the local intrachurch level. In Part Two, Holmberg develops a sociological analysis of the shape and location of authority in the church. He examines the New Testament literature for evidence and then interprets it in terms of categories derived from modern theoretical sociology, and in particular from Max Weber's sociology of authority. Holmberg describes the nature of authority in the early church and concludes that a charismatic authority was continuously reinstitutionalized through interaction of persons, institutions, and social forces within the church. This persuasive and provocative study combines serious New Testament interpretation with sociological analysis of a crucial issue in earliest Christianity. It advances the case of sociological exegesis by offering a model for further investigations of the entire structure of church leadership and authority in emergent Christianity.

Power has a God-given role in human relationships and institutions, but it can lead to abuse when used in unhealthy ways. Speaking into current #MeToo and #ChurchToo conversations, this book shows that the body of Christ desperately needs to understand the forms power takes, how it is abused, and how to respond to abuses of power. Although many Christians want to prevent abuse in their churches and organizations, they lack a deep and clear-eyed understanding of how power actually works. Internationally recognized psychologist Diane Langberg offers a clinical and theological framework for understanding how power operates, the effects of the abuse of power, and how power can be redeemed and restored to its proper God-given place in relationships and institutions. This book not only helps Christian leaders identify and resist abusive systems but also shows how they can use power to protect the vulnerable in their midst.

The Church, Authority, and Foucault addresses the problem of the Church’s enmeshment with sovereign power, which can lead to marginalization. Breaking new ground, Ogden uses Foucault’s approach to power and knowledge to interpret the church leader’s significance as the guardian of knowledge. This can become privileged knowledge, under the spell of sovereign power, and with the complicity of clergy and laity in search of sovereigns. Inevitably, such a culture leads to a sense of entitlement for leaders and conformity for followers. All in the name of obedience. The Church needs to change in order to fulfil its vocation. Instead of a monarchy, what about Church as an open space of freedom? This book, then, is a theological enterprise which cultivates practices of freedom for the sake of the other. This involves thinking differently by exploring catalysts for change, which include critique, space, imagination, and wisdom. In the process, Ogden uses a range of sources, analysing discourse, gossip, ritual, territory, masculinity, and pastoral power. In all, the work of Michel Foucault sets the tone for a fresh ecclesiological critique that will appeal to theologians and clergy alike.

The Power and Authority of the Believer reveals the great power, ability, and authority that the Lord has given to the Church (His Body). The Believer has been empowered by the Lord Jesus Christ to overcome the devil and the world. We have the power and authority to trample on satan, his fallen angels and demons, witches and wizards, and all the power and works of the devil, and nothing shall by any means hurt us! Have you started using that power and authority?

In 1980, the Lord, through His word, set before me a vision of what it means to be called "sons of God" and the authority He has given to His followers. Over the years, He has increased that vision, and while I am long way from walking in the fullness of it, I believe in these last days, many will walk in the fullness of God's new covenant in Jesus Christ. This book, Sons of God, began as an intended Facebook post. One morning, during my worship time, I sensed the Holy Spirit stirring in me that now was the time to start writing about the authority scripture declares belongs to the believer. However, as I began to write, I soon realized there was much more than a simple post coming forth. As a result of responding to the Holy Spirit that day, this book, Sons of God, was written. I believe it is the fruit of the Spirit of God in my life, but every word must be in submission to Holy scripture. If you find it not so, put it down. It is my desire to encourage and stretch the faith of those who desire a deeper walk with Jesus. If you have a longing in your relationship with the Lord that you have not been able to fill, this book may have some answers for you. A new journey is about to begin as there is so much more to the Christian life than most of us have experienced. I have attempted to create a vision of broader and deeper purposes of God. I pray this book will be an enlightenment and blessing to every reader.

In the Gospels and the book of Acts we see miracle after miracle happening as they proclaim the Gospel but in today's age those miracles seem to be far off stories that happen few and far between. Why don't miracles happen more often? Why don't we see the power of God on a more regular basis? Matthew Wright attempts to answer this question by laying out the radical life mandated by Jesus in the Gospels. He breaks it down into three major steps, building a relationship with Jesus, going beyond the relationship, and living out the mission assigned to us.
