Book Cover & Preview Text
The ultimate objective of the Christian church is to carry out the "Great Commission" as commanded by Christ. Paul, commenting on how that objective is to be realized, said, "We are to become all things to all men that we might by all means save some." The purpose of this book is to provide a focus for first-time pastors or developing churches, who are striving to reach the ultimate objective, but who also may become overwhelmed by what appears to be a daunting task.
