Tools for Ministry: Equipped for the Work of Building Up the Body of Christ
Every Christian has a role in the work of the Kingdom — this book shows you how to live it.
Tools for Ministry is a practical, Scripture-rich workbook designed to equip everyday Christians for real, meaningful service in the church. Whether you’re a Bible class teacher, church leader, new believer, or simply someone who wants to serve more effectively, this book gives you the biblical tools to do it with confidence and clarity.
