The Body of Christ is a term used by Christians to describe believers in Christ. Jesus Christ is seen as the "head" of the body, which is the church.
. In a simple yet powerful manner this book conveys the meaning and centrality of servanthood in the life of Christians. Through personal stories, scripture, and reflection the authors speak to readers about how we can better incorporate servanthood into our daily lives. They remind us that service is the mission of the people, and their words empower empower verb To encourage or provide a person with the means or information to become involved in solving his/her own problems  the people to go forth and live it out. Laid out in nine easy chapters with reflection questions at the end, this is an excellent resource for any Christian organization or individual wanting to engage more deeply in the service of others. It is not a book to be left on the shelf but a book to be put in the hands of the people of God so that the church may continue in its mission of loving and caring for others.
