IF JESUS WERE MAYOR : Transformation and the Local Church
review by Fritz Palas
Dr. Robert Moffitt
Harvest Publications, 2004
Paperback 425 pages

If Jesus were Mayor, how would your community change? Dr. Robert Moffitt, an experienced leader of a successful and growing ministry that teaches churches how to disciple their members, asks readers to think about that possibility. In so doing, he challenges local churches everywhere to reconsider how they are meeting their biblically assigned role to serve in their communities. The central thesis of "If Jesus Were Mayor" is that churches need not only to proclaim the Good News of God’s Kingdom, but also to demonstrate the love of God through the lifestyle of each member. As church members show love by their actions to their neighbors in need and advocate for the rule of Christ—-in their families, communities, workplace, and in all other areas of their lives—-they become agents of God’s transforming work and are able to witness effectively for advance of the Kingdom. The book is filled with actual stories of what happens to individuals, communities, and nations when churches adopt the biblical paradigm, as if Jesus were Mayor. Submitted by: Fritz Palas P.O.
