Rick Warren has reminded us (and booksellers across America!) of the importance of purpose. In The Kingdom-Focused Church (Broadman & Holman), Gene Mims reminds us that the purpose of the church is to serve the Kingdom of God – to be “a crucial part of God’s work in the universe today.” He offers lots of practical guidance out of his three decades of ministry experience.
