Every-person Ministry is based on the conviction that every Christian shares a mission - to be a channel for the Holy Spirit so the reconciling love of God in Christ may flow throughout the world. Each of the first four chapters of the book discusses a different kind of ministry: neighbourly love; the importance of listening to people; the potential we all have to speak and act prophetically; and when and how we should forgive one another and seek reconciliation. Later chapters focus on attending to our own relationship with God, with guidance on defusing the 'unhelpful passions' which block the action of the Spirit in us; reflections on daily prayer; and an exploration of the way we articulate and explain our faith.
