A Multifaceted Jewel (Boon-Sing Poh)

Description

This book explains, in short chapters, the various facets of the life of a biblical church. It is particularly suitable for pioneering situations in which believers are being prepared for covenanting together as churches. The new, as well as older, believers will helped to have a clearer understanding of the local church.

Ignorance of the previleges, resposibilities, and liabilities of church membership is a cause of many churches remaining weak. The quality is more important that the number of the churches we plant. It is hoped that this book will be appreciated by more churches, both in pioneering as well as the more established situations.
