Servants Of The Word: The Gospel Of Christ and the Call to Discipleship

What does it mean to be invited by Christ to be a Servant of the Word? How is it possible today to live life in such a way that it is contrary to popular culture? Is it possible to know anything about God and if so how? Who can people turn to if they want to know more about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and what it means for life in the modern world? What does it mean to conform your life, as far as that is possible, to that of Christ who came, 'not to be served but to serve?'

These are just some of the questions explored in this book as the author, a deacon himself, invites the reader to understand what it means to be a 'Servant of the Word.' Whether you are a minister of the church or not this book invites you to immerse yourself in the scriptures in order to be able to find Christ who is as present in his Word as he is in the sacraments. The aim is to feed the mind, sustain the soul and touch the heart as we discover that it is, in fact, God who comes in search of us. The emphasis is vey much on seeing the scriptures as a dialogue between God and the human race. Ultimately and in the light of this the reader is invited to ask the question, 'what might God be inviting me to do?'
