Authority: How to gain and use it

by Brenton Williams, Paul Corrigan (Editor), Stefan Jurczenko (Illustrations)

Authority or power -- which is greater? Where does authority come from? How do we gain it? How should believers respond to worldly authority? These are some of the questions this book tries to answer. Jesus taught and ministered with authority. That dumbfounded the religious establishment of his day. His disciples did the same thing after his resurrection. Did they understand things that we have forgotten? This book will equip you with truths to let you serve authority without conflict and use authority in your everyday life and ministry. Applying its principles will make you a man or woman of authority.

About the author

Brenton Williams was born in 1947 to non-christian parents and, apart from attending a local Sunday School, had no Christian faith or beliefs. He met his wife, Coral, in 1970 who was a member of The Salvation Army and converted that year. He joined The Salvation Army as a member and in 1975 felt a call from God to full-time ministry. He and his wife trained and became Salvation Army Officers for 11 years moving around New Zealand to various posts. His search for truth led him to question some of the tenets of the Army and in 1984 he left The Salvation Army to start a small charismatic group where he still ministers today. The truths in his books are based on first-hand experience and a desire to discover a real and true faith. Central to that is a close and intimate personal relationship with Jesus Christ. His heart desire is to help other believers come to know Jesus as a friend and lover and thereby prepare them for an eternity of wedded bliss with their chosen bridegroom.
