Fingerprint of God: The Church as a Living Body
Dr. Ron Bryce uses his medical background and his experience as a church elder and teacher to pose a new argument as to how the church should function: as a living, breathing body. This interesting new perspective will open the eyes of readers to see what the church could be with the attention and cooperation of its ministry and members.
In the Bible and in Christian culture, the church is so often described as the "body of Christ" that the words seem to have lost all meaning. Far from being a tired, empty descriptor, however, physician and devoted Christian Dr. Ron Bryce has seen over his decades in the medical field that this popular analogy may be a literal definition of what the church should be. In Fingerprint of God: The Church As a Living Body, Bryce uses examples from science and nature to illuminate how God has placed His signature not only on all living things but also on His church. Bryce argues that by understanding what they are and living cooperatively with one another, the cells of the body of Christ can unite to fight off the diseases infecting the modern church, such as infighting, lack of charity, and lack of forgiveness.
