Pentecost Released: A Fresh Look at Leadership in Acts and The Early Church

by Peter Butt

Is it time for the accepted church leadership model to change?For a river to effectively flow, it requires two healthy banks. This harnesses its power and causes it to reach its destination. Without banks, a river simply loses its impetus, disappears into the ground and ceases to exist. So often a move or outpouring of the Holy Spirit has dissipated then disappeared in this way. In this book Peter suggests that godly, biblical leadership and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are prominent, strategic and significant “banks” for the river that flows in the book of Acts.

The previous book on the Gifts of the Spirit and this one on ‘apostolic’ leadership provide the framework that enables the river to continue to flow as the Holy Spirit continues to work and the church rises to become all that God has in His heart for her, His bride”. Peter's exploration of the fivefold ministry in its role within a church leadership team is biblical, clear, and very compelling.
