Usually when we speak of service we refer to something done for the benefit of others. But in both languages of the Bible, Greek and Hebrew, ministry and service are the same word - ministry is service to God and neighbour. These ten studies, covering examples from Genesis to Revelation, explore service in a variety of contexts: family, creation, society, the city, neighbours, relationships, the church and the workplace. They examine examples of service that were motivated by imagination, passion, faith, hope and love.
R Paul Stevens is the David J Brown Professor of Marketplace Theology and Leadership at Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia, and the author of several books on the ministry of the whole people of God and the spirituality of everyday life, including DOWN-TO-EARTH SPIRITUALITY (IVP). He and his wife Gail have three married children and eight granchildren.
