Description of Commissioned to Love: Living Out the Whole Gospel
Review 'Pastor John P. Perkins and Mr. Anthony D. Bobo, Jr. have placed their spiritual fingers on the pulse of our low-wealth communities to identify the challenges that they confront as well as the opportunities for local churches to respond to those challenges. Their book provides a template the church to demonstrate its 21st Century relevance.' Reverend Matthew J. Watts, Senior Pastor and Teacher, Grace Bible Church of Charleston, West Virginia'The concept of Commission Circles flows from the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus essentially told his disciples: Ready, Set, Wait. They did wait and they received the promised Holy Spirit who empowers the church for mission. Perkins and Bobo present a fresh application of Acts 1:8 in proclaiming and demonstrating the whole Gospel bringing hope and guidance to many.' Dr. John Wenrich, President of the Evangelical Covenant Church'Pastor John and Anthony have a contagious commitment to the poor and to the local church. This is an important introduction to living out Christ's commission in urban America today! This is an important read for church leaders today.' Aaron Graham, Lead Pastor, The District Church, Washington, DC'It is an honor to be a friend and co-laborer of this Man of God! I am grateful for the ministry insights, the passionate exhortations, and most of all, the Biblical values lived out in the life and ministry of Pastor John Perkins!' Dr. John Teter, Founder and Senior Minister, Fountain of Life Covenant Church, Long Beach, CA'I've had the privilege of knowing John for years. I love his all-encompassing embrace for his community, practicing what he preaches' Jon Foreman, of Switchfoot'This is no high-minded intellectual treatise meant to show off. This book is written to change things. It hits the bullseye for how the Church has the opportunity to transform our nation by the lived power of Christ, through salty, authentic, relationship-driven Kingdom people. What I'm most thankful for is the voice of the authors, next generation leaders writing from lived experience, not internet research.'
