”‘Service – How Do I Give Back?‘ is a great introduction to what it means to live as a Christian. The key foundations for healthy service are presented in an engaging way. Time again and again, profound ideas are made simple and then applied with punch.“Tim Chester(Author and senior faculty member, Crosslands Training)”Christians often get ‘stuck’ in their spiritual growth, receiving from the church without giving back. This helpful book provides practical steps for believers – especially non–churched and/or newer believers – to overcome their hesitations, discover their spiritual gifts, and serve from a gospel motivation. For pastors who need help encouraging their people to serve the church, this is the first book I’d recommend.“Gavin Ortlund(Founder, Truth Unites)”The author seasons each chapter with narrative examples that allow readers to place themselves in the grand story of following King Jesus as His servant–disciples.This book is imminently practical, enjoyably readable, and pastorally helpful for making disciples and introducing people to Jesus.“Doug Logan, Jr(Director of the Diversity Initiative, Acts 29 & Co–director of Church in Hard Places)
