The Family Church: Faith Family Fellowship

In this conversational and inspiring book, Dr. Richardson has captured the essence of faith, family and fellowship, as well as his lessons-learned, and the teachable experiences associated with leading a "Family Church." After accepting the calling as a church minister at the age of twelve, and climbing the ladder of success to become a well-respected academic scholar and spiritual leader, a recent conversation and "aha moment" planted the seed for an entertaining, inspiring, and transformational guide for pastors, church leaders, and lay persons.It was a casual remark from a mentor and a pastor who had shepherded a fledgling church into a beacon of his community. As the two discussed their ministries, sharing the triumphs and tribulations of life in the pulpit, his mentor's words landed with a surprising weight: "Oh. You are the pastor of a family church. A church with unique strengths and the transformative power of intimacy. A church where belonging is not just a word but an actual experience."In this conversational and inspiring book, Dr. Richardson has captured the unabridged essence of his lessons-learned, and the teachable experiences associated with leading a "Family Church." Within the 120-pages, the reader obtains an unforgettable view into the historical and instinctive nature of "The Family Church" -- one filled to the rim with the kind of faith, family and fellowship, which ignores size and numbers, and embraces actionable love, kindred kindness and awe-inspiring spiritual strength.The book's Foreword is passionately and profoundly provided by Bishop Frederick A. Wright, Sr., the 142nd Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church.
