Huperetes: The Heart Of A Minister (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798632741729)

The ancient Roman warships had a low deck where slaves chained to benches moved the vessels forward as a unified human engine through the crashing seas. This was life as an under-rower-a huperetes, or minister as defined by the apostle Paul.

No matter how modern-day convention tries to distort its true meaning, authentic ministry is not easy, comfortable, glamorous, autonomous, predictable, or temporary. "...If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all [in importance] and a servant of all" (Mark 9:35 AMP). Jesus proclaims servanthood as His pathway to true leadership. In Jesus Culture, you descend to the top! From mop to microphone and basement to stage, these are steps to gaining your place in God's Kingdom.

In his signature style, Dr. Dennis Sempebwa has written a manual for the modern-day minister. Rather than outline conventional textbook truisms for clergy, he engages the reader from a refreshingly different perspective. Prepare to be challenged and to recalibrate as you join Team Jesus in gathering the great end-time harvest of souls!
