Jesus declared that He would build His church. Church is translated from the Greek word ekklesia. This new book by Dr. Patti, Ekklesia: Kingdom Government in Operation, examines in detail Christ's proclamation, the historical background upon which the statement rested, and the mandate upon the church to respond to His decree. Reading the pages of this remarkable book will not only impart understanding but will result in the believer being empowered to arise and fulfill his or her call to function as a vital member of the ekklesia of Christ.
