Ed Silvoso - Transformation: Change The Marketplace and You Change the World

PRAISE FOR
Transformation

Far and wide, Gods people are tuning in to His mandate to disciple nations. A passion is rapidly arising for pursuing aggressive, intentional social transformation. Ed Silvoso is one who has been clearly hearing what the Spirit is saying to the churches, and his brilliant new book, strong on theory and intense on practice, is just what we all need to begin to take giant steps toward Gods ultimate destiny for the world.

The genius of this extraordinary book is that, like a wonderful meal, it can be enjoyed by everyone. Ed Silvoso sparks the mind with the meat of challenging paradigms yet satisfies the intuition with the potatoes of solid examples. He challenges our Scriptural prejudices and adds the Tabasco of godly wisdom, then finishes with a personal dessert that brought tears to my eyes and satisfaction to my heart. This banquet will quickly leave a hunger to minister in the marketplace and leave a godly legacy.

Ed Silvoso is a twenty-first-century Abrahamhaving received an (impossible) word, he has the courage to believe it can be done. Eds insight into Scripture causes the familiar passages to blaze with color and fills the reader with expectancy of a world where the marketplace flourishes with believers that dare minister. Transformation is not a book; it is a manual for the brave, a masterpiece for the theologian, and a road map for the entrepreneur.

When God was looking for someone to herald the message of transformation to the nations of the world, Ed Silvoso stood up and said, Here I am, Lord, send me, and God took him up on it. Eds latest book is not only theoretical and biblical but also practical and real. Reading this book will deposit real faith to believe that Jesus Christ uses real people in real life situations to really change the world. Eds insightful definition of faith as the revelation of what is yet to happen will challenge you to reach for nothing short of the transforming lifestyle God has purposed for all His children to experience.

Although embraced by Christians centuries ago, the truth Ed Silvoso describesGods plan for blessing the nationsneeds to be reaffirmed as a primary objective by Christ followers. In this book, Ed brings to light insights, both for those in the marketplace and those in the pulpit, of how to see the kingdom of God affect their city, their region, and their nation.
