About This Book

With  may be the most important word in the Christian faith. In the Trinity, as Samuel Wells points out, we see the eternal persons of the Godhead  being with  each other. In the Gospels we see Jesus  being with  the people he encounters, mediating God's grace to them with his own incarnational presence. Those in ministry are likewise called to the task of  being with —with God, with the church, and with the created world and those who dwell in it. In  Incarnational Ministry  Wells elaborates on the concept of  being with  in eight dimensions: presence, attention, mystery, delight, participation, partnership, enjoyment, and glory. His vivid narratives and wise reflections will challenge readers to deeper discipleship and more vital ministry as they explore what it means to  be with  the troubled, the hurt, the afflicted, the challenged, the dying—and all who are embraced by the church's incarnational ministry.
