The Church Made Flesh: Regaining Foundational Principles and Practices of the Apostolic Church

Publisher Marketing: In his book, The Church Made Flesh, Alan takes the spiritual pulse of the Pentecostal/Apostolic Church and lays bare its true condition. Tapping into a rich spiritual repertoire of experiences, both anecdotal and other erudite sources, this book is a tour de force that revisits bedrock issues such as the cost of discipleship, church-planting and church order, among others. Employing a fruitful dialectic of tension, these issues are explored in the intersection between the nascent Apostolic Church of the first century AD and its contemporary incarnation. The denouement is an incisive, accessible, candid and profound exposition that is a must in every discerning minister and layperson's library. -Paul Thomas, PhD (Education, King's College, London) Lecturer, University of Olso, Norway Institute for Pedagogy Comparative and International Education Give yourself this book and then help God solve the next vexing problem in the North American Apostolic church.

For those that are ready to effect change in this world the biblical way, this is a book that you must not only have but study and wrestle with. -Michael Whitton, Minister of Operations, Global Apostolic Ministries Toronto, Canada Contributor Bio:  Todd, Alan Todd is a visual artist and writer.
