The reason for this book: to bring to us a totally new beginning for the body of Christ. Gene Edwards challenges the long-held evangelical ideal of restoring a so-called "New Testament church" by reconstructing its biblical elements. Edwards argues that the early churches described in the New Testament were not institutional models to replicate but organic, living expressions of Christ—unique, Spirit-led communities that emerged naturally within their cultural contexts.

You have read the book of Acts before, but you have never heard the men who lived it tell the story themselves. For the first eleven chapters PETER tells the story of Acts. Then beginning in chapter thirteen Barnabas tells his part of the story . . . then Silas. Then TIMOTHY, etc. It is as though each man left a diary for you to read. You now have a record of the eye witness account of the first-century events. Acts in First Person is the perfect companion to The Story of My Life . . . as Told by Jesus Christ. The five historical books of the New Testament are all now in first person.

The author grew up in a working class family, living at the bottom rung of poverty. He began working in the Texas oil fields at age fourteen. Here is a beautiful story of encouragement to everyone who works for a living, whether it be in the home or in the workplace. God the Father could have had his Son live in any class of society, but He chose to immerse him in the daily grind of the working class. Your Lord was a day laborer. Here is a story which opens a window into the heart of God and the high esteem in which he holds those who labor — from the housewife to the steeplejack.

Sharing Christ with others was a natural part of life for Gene Edwards. He was comfortable introducing a person to Christ and then guiding him or her through committing their life to Him and receiving Him into their inmost being. Gene wrote this little book not long before his death in December of 2022. SeedSowers now brings it to you.

You may have noticed that much of today's ministry comes neatly packaged along with a slick marketing strategy. The offer of health, wealth, and success in all you do is a pleasant detour from the actual message of the Lord Jesus. Perhaps you never really considered that even though salvation is the free gift of God, transformation to spiritual maturity is not a gift at all. It's a process. The cross of Calvary was God's appointment for his son. The Cross in Your Path is the Son's appointment for You. This book is concerned with that second cross, the one you are to take up and carry.

It happened 1800 years ago. The chaotic arrangement was accepted and later became the only way to arrange Paul's letters. As a result, we cannot know what the New Testament is saying. We have never seen the church of Century One. We do not know what happened in the first Christian century. We have no model of the first-century from which to work.

Based on the book of Acts this is the story of the Apostle Paul's third journey. Told through the eyes of Paul's companion Timothy this is the tale of the journey to Ephesus and Paul's time in the city. Unlike his earlier journeys the third journey is spent mostly in one city where Paul not only raises up a church but trains young men to take on the mission of raising up the next generation of churches after his death.
