Book Reviews of Equipping Church, The
Book Review: A Breadth of Helpfulness for Church Leaders
Summary: 4 Stars
Sue Mallory offers a deep well of insights in The Equipping Church. She writes as someone with rich experience in equipping lay ministers to do ministry in a local church. She also shares the benefits of her experience working with the professional staff of the church. There are many lessons, ideas and insights for readers of this book. Mallory writes with a humble and helpful tone that conveys her passion for church ministry and the body of Christ.
The equipping church serves to guide readers along the journey of generating a high level of participation and growth among church members according to each member's gifts from God. She provides clear counsel thoughout her book that also includes principles and examples for each chapter. All of her writing includes personal stories from her own journey, both successes and failures. Mallory includes theory and method so the book is persuasive and practical.
I think this book will be helpful to all readers to desire to better lead and equip Christians for ministry and to faciliate churches becoming healthier and more effective in bearing witness to Jesus. Mallory focuses on the gifts of ministry listed in Eph 4.11-13 -- pastors, teachers, prophets, apostles and evangelists. She also addresses other gifts that being might have such as computer skills, organization, giving, training, etc; however, she does not discuss the Spirit's gifts such as faith, healing, prophecy, tongues, miracles, discernment, wisdom or knowledge--those Paul lists in 1 Cor 12-14. I think that any discussion of equipping the church ought to include discussion of these gifts also.
