Bishop Eddie Long, the pastor of one of the largest churches in Atlanta, confronts the modern American church as being self-centered, introverted, and more interested in entertainment than in ministry. But he doesn't simply indict the church without giving answers. Taking Over includes Long's innovative--and sometimes controversial--ideas, which are causing city leaders to look to him, and to God, for answers. This unprecedented book will bring the church into the new millennium, ready to reign and bring God's solutions to society's problems.
Eddie Lee Long was an American pastor who served as the senior pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, a megachurch in unincorporated DeKalb County, Georgia from 1987 until his death in 2017.
