This book offers a renewed vision and practical steps for United Methodists to work together in mission and ministry. These bishops of The United Methodist Church urge congregations to stand together, under God's grace, to lead others to vibrant faith, steadfast hope, and joyful living. The authors call for a new partnership with God to bring God's reign to fruition for all God's people. With concrete guidance about how to create and transform disciples, readers are invited to travel the path that leads to the abundant living that Jesus talked about. This book will also inspire and motivate congregations to work together to be a vibrant presence in their neighborhoods and communities.

Bickerton, and Bruce R. Ough.
