Using the example Jesus set as a model for ministry, this book from Tim Keller is a great guide to sharing faith in a powerful way
In this motivational and highly practical book, Timothy Keller shows how caring for those in need is the duty of every believer – as fundamental to Christian living as evangelism, discipleship and worship. But he doesn’t stop there. He sets out an array of tried-and-tested measures that will encourage and equip Christians of all persuasions to become more committed and more effective in carrying out this vital ministry.
As well as a new foreword by John Sentamu, each chapter of the book ends with group discussion questions to help Churches and groups better realise their calling, and work through what to do about it.
Ministries of Mercy will equip you to meet the needs of others, to live and love by example, and be inspire others to do the same.
It's a resource for reaching out, and a calling card for caring
"I commend this book to all who would heed Jesus’ call to be ministers of mercy: to walk with him along the paths of justice, mercy and truth." - John Sentamu, Archbishop of York
"Tim Keller's ministry had been a neon signpost for Christian's looking for biblical reasons for social engagement. Ministries of Mercy explores the story of the Good Samaritan as a compelling basis for acts of mercy." - Joel Edwards, General Director of the Evangelical Alliance, 1997-2009
"Tim Keller has approached a challenging subject with typical biblical integrity." - Eleanor Mumford, founder of Vineyard Churches, UK and Ireland
