Ed Silvoso - Ekklesia: Rediscovering Gods Instrument for Global Transformation

Author Ed Silvoso has a habit of writing profound, life-changing books. The Body of Christ has gained so much through his life and ministry that I cant imagine where we would be without his instruction along with his testimonies of Kingdom breakthroughs. Yet Ekklesia may be the most important book he has ever written. As such, it is one of the greatest books of our lifetime. Contained in these pages are tried-and-true insights and experiences that will inspire the greatest skeptic and equip all who have a heart to see the kingdom of this world become the Kingdom of our God. This book is simply brilliant, inspired, profound, and challenging. I encourage you to join me in reading Ekklesia for personal transformation, that we might be equipped to transform the cities and nations for His glory.

Ed Silvosos newest book, Ekklesia, is not just an important book for church leaders to read and digestit is an extraordinarily important book! God is moving us into a new season, one that is changing our paradigm from church-centered to Kingdom-centered. Silvoso helps us see the church as not just a congregation with a pastor where we gather in a building on Sunday mornings. Rather, the Church is Ekklesia, scattered throughout society carrying the Word and the works of the Kingdom. This change is a complex project, and there is no better road map toward seeing it accomplished than Ed Silvosos Ekklesia. You will cherish this book!

Ed Silvoso has created another masterpiece in Ekklesia . Ed takes a fresh look at Scripture to rediscover the Church as a people versus an institution and how that should impact the way we express the Gospel to every sphere of influence. He shows us what the Church is intended to be versus what it has become. We need a course correction, and Ed provides us the needed master plan to right the ship. Well done, Ed!

Finally! A book that clarifies the difference between the Church as Jesus meant it to be and the churches we see today. Tragically, the two arent even similar. Today, we hear the word church and think of a building or a religious organization. Jesus, on the other hand, wasnt talking about either. He was talking about a gatheringa coming together of His followers, who would deny themselves, take up their crosses and follow Him. And following Him means becoming a disciple and making disciples. The power and simplicity of His call to disciple all nations has been obscured and diluted by the manmade institutionalization of Christianity. This book takes us back to the true callings of Christ. I enthusiastically recommend it to all who call themselves followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

For decades, Ed Silvoso has ranked among the Churchs most inspiring catalytic leaders. He is a unique thinker and a brilliant communicator. Ekklesia is a true groundbreaker. It is a gift that will bring many to a profound view of the Gospel and the Kingdom. Having been his friend for years, I am especially grateful for his commitment to affirm pastors and engage local churches in his passionate vision of the future.
