Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important work challenges an entrenched scholarly consensus, that at the beginning it was inspired leaders - not ordained officers - who dominated the church. James Burtchaell illustrates that the traditional argument on behalf of clerical authority had read history backwards, and found the apostles to be the first bishops. In this study, Burtchaell reads history forwards, and demonstrates that first century Jews knew only one form of community organization, that of the synagogue. The three-level structure of offices in the synagogue - president, elders, and assistant - emerges, in the author's estimation, as the most plausible antecedent for the Christian offices which stand forth clearly in the second century. Burtchaell's conclusion is that ordained office is a foundational element in Christianity, but that, while the officers presided from the first, they rarely led. Thus, while Jesus' brother James presided as the ordained chief of the mother church in Jerusalem, it was Peter - Jesus' inspired veteran disciple - whose voice carried most authority. This revisionist historical account of Christian origins creatively subverts the established positions on church order, and thus opens up the arguments to new and larger conclusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The designs of synagogues and churches are acknowledged to be very alike. But the designers' procedure was confidential, and so far standard explanations have been unsatisfactory. A synagogue should express heavenly values with earthly materials. This combination was in fact expressed in numbers, for, as Plato said, they linked heaven and earth. Scripture described both the Jewish Tabernacle and Temple with a wealth of numbers. Proportions based on these numbers were used to design synagogues. Only a few Jewish documents survive, but they reveal a symbolism, which Christians sometimes repeat. The synagogue sanctuary was designed to contain the 'Holy Ark', and the mosaic floors reveal the point 'Before the Ark' for the prayers and readings. These places faced each other, with the idea that God was facing his people. The synagogue was seen as facing heaven and in church buildings Christians repeated the same proportions. This was a joint tradition among Jews and Christians. It was easy to design, was carried out secretly and accurately, and - without a computer - was extremely hard to unravel. This book, for the first time, does just that.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed, influential work now available in paper for the first time, this bestselling book applies the concepts of systemic family therapy to the emotional life of congregations. Edwin H. Friedman shows how the same understanding of family process that can aid clergy in their pastoral role also has important ramifications for negotiating congregational dynamics and functioning as an effective leader. Clergy from diverse denominations, as well as family therapists and counselors, have found that this book directly addresses the dilemmas and crises they encounter daily. It is widely used as a text in courses on pastoral care, leadership, and family systems.

Book excerpt: Immediately after my story of incarceration in the Synagogue which was featured in my first Book began to go viral, other victims of T.B. Joshua from different walks of life got contagious through the act, and courageously spring out of their shell to share with me their personal negative experiences in the Synagogue. The wound many of them had licked privately for many years, and concealed the shame, loses, and embarrassments under the garments of plague of silence. Our silence is on the other hands empowering the psychopaths that are into fakery, molestation, and diabolical acts. We don't want to enable them, this is why we are sharing our stories for others to learn. Some of the stories are hilarious, while majority of them are frightening, disheartening, and sorrowful. I decided to have them shared with you in this book for the same reason why I did mine. To be a light to those who grope in darkness.Spiritual and Physical killings are rampant in the Synagogue, 'church' of all Nations, which is one of the things that cushions T.B. Joshua' demonic powers. I believe no reasonable person will seek for protection, healing or deliverance in such a damned place.The acts of Fatai Balogun alias T.B. Joshua of the Synagogue of satanism and lawlessness can no longer be hidden or covered up, God is helping those that were wounded and abused in this unholy place called the Synagogue to find strength to expose T.B. Joshua, despising the shame so that others may learn and never fall prey of the RAVENING WOLVES (Matthew 7: 15).
