"Roy and Jackie Trueblood have written this book to offer solutions to this problem. Drawing on their extensive experience leading the Partners in Ministry program, they provide direct, practical guidance on how the ministry of laity and clergy can complement and strengthen each other. The basic building block in their approach is the ministry team, in which one's status as clergy or laity does not matter, but rather one's sense of God's call and gifts for ministry."--BOOK JACKET. "Partners in Ministry will be an invaluable tool for the leaders of congregations seeking to enhance the ministry effectiveness of their church."--BOOK JACKET.

Or, has God created us—and called us—to live together in a partnership of yielding in love to each other? Partners in Marriage and Ministry addresses these frequently asked questions.

“You have a call, Elder Wilder.” When missionary Micah Wilder set his sights on bringing a Baptist congregation into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he had no idea that he was the one about to be changed. Yet when he finally came to know the God of the Bible, Micah had no choice but to surrender himself—no matter the consequences. For a passionate young Mormon who had grown up in the Church, finding authentic faith meant giving up all he knew: his community, his ambitions, and his place in the world. Yet as Micah struggled to reconcile the teachings of his Church with the truths revealed in the Bible, he awakened to his need for God’s grace. This led him to be summoned to the door of the mission president, terrified but confident in the testimony he knew could cost him everything. Passport to Heaven is a gripping account of Micah’s surprising journey from living as a devoted member of a religion based on human works to embracing the divine mercy and freedom that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

Every pastor's wife is a faithful servant and leader in her own right. She has great influence on her church, her community, her family, and her husband, and she finds joy in seeing God move in the lives of others. Yet she also faces unique challenges that too often go unnoticed and unaddressed. At times, a pastor's wife may feel she can't talk about her struggles even with those who are closest to her, which can leave her feeling alone, depleted, and misunderstood. She may settle for this way of living, but that's not God's desire for her. Christine Hoover knows firsthand the unique struggles and opportunities afforded a pastor's wife--she's been filling that role for more than 20 years. Coming alongside as an understanding friend, she offers encouragement and guidance to the struggling pastor's wife, showing her how to make meaningful personal relationships with God, her husband, her children, her church community, and other women--relationships that will sustain her and help her thrive.

What type of relationship did New Testament churches have with one another? Was it a relationship of conflict and competition? Or was it a loose aggregation of individual churches scattered across the Roman Empire? Or can it be described as a cohesive partnership for the common cause of the gospel of Christ? Most New Testament church activities are recorded in connection with Paul’s ministry. In this sense, the present study started on the premise that close attention to Paul’s partnership ministry would offer a richer understanding of New Testament church relationships. By exploring some ministry areas—such as Paul’s coworkers, financial assistance, and communicative activities—this book demonstrates that Paul’s churches, occasioned and mediated by Paul’s partnership ministry, were engaged in networking and collaboration far more closely than has generally been assumed, not only among themselves but also with non-Pauline churches. Paul’s partnership ministry significantly contributed to the relationship of New Testament churches.
