Church God Blesses
$12.99Add to cartIn this second book of a three-book series on the way God wants to pour out his blessings, best-selling author Jim Cymbala describes the kind of church God wants to bless and use mightily for his kingdom. Cymbala, who pastors The Brooklyn Tabernacle and has seen his church grow from a handful of the faithful to a vibrant, multi-ethnic and growing beacon of hope in the city, believes that God desires to bless the church but that the church is often more interested in programs and “fads.” He outlines the qualities that God is looking for in the church and shows how any church can become a vessel for God’s blessings. Through the use of stories from his own congregation and this pastor’s wise insights from Scripture, this book will satisfy the hunger every Christian has to see the church become what God intended it to be.
