Dynamic New Teaching from Bestselling Author Ed Silvoso

The word church has many connotations; we think of it as a specific building, as a group of people, even as a long service to sit through. We hardly ever think of it as world-changing–and neither does society. Yet this is exactly what the first-century ekklesia was.

In these vital, eye-opening pages, bestselling author Ed Silvoso takes you back to the first days of the church. Digging into Scripture, he shows how the New Testament church–devoid of buildings, professional clergy, and religious freedom–was able to transform the hostile, pagan places into which it was born and set in motion a process that changed the world forever.

Even more, Silvoso offers a roadmap back to becoming the ekklesia Jesus called his church to be. In the midst of the social, economic, political, and moral chaos in our world today, we possess the hope that people and nations so desperately need–and we can become the revolutionary, transformational, life-giving voice Jesus called us to be.

A new, in-depth curriculum kit–which features a DVD with 12 brand-new teaching sessions, a group guide for both leaders and participants, and a copy of the book–is also available. Expounding on the book’s dynamic teachings, each kit contains everything you need to equip your group to transform the world around them.

Dr. Ed Silvoso, founder and president of Harvest Evangelism and the leader of the Transform Our World Network, is a strategist and Bible teacher who specializes in nation and marketplace transformation. Trained in both theology and business, he is the author of numerous books, including the bestselling Anointed for Business. His work experience includes banking, hospital administration, financial services and church ministry, as well as coaching leaders on how to take the power and presence of God into the marketplace to see their sphere of influence transformed.

As a strategic thinker with a passion to equip ordinary people to do extraordinary things, Dr. Silvoso has spent his lifetime mining life-giving biblical principles for transformation to link them to practical application for today’s Christians, their families, their sphere of influence and ultimately their communities and nations.

It’s no secret that the Church today has lost its influence in culture.

But why? With the technology, affluence and knowledge we have today, why are we less effective than the first-century Church–which didn’t have social media or fancy buildings or professional pastors or even religious freedom?

What are we missing?

In these vital, eye-opening pages, bestselling author Ed Silvoso digs into Scripture, unearthing Jesus’ true design for His Church–His Ekklesia. He shows how the early Church was a radical, countercultural force of people who transformed the hostile, pagan places in which they lived. Here Dr. Silvoso shows how we, in the midst of the social, economic, political and moral chaos in our world today, can once again become the revolutionary, transformational, life-giving Ekklesia Jesus called us to be.
