Ministry Education That Transforms: Modeling and Teaching the Transformed Life, Ferris Robert W., Lillis John R., Enlow Jr Ralph E.

God clearly intends that lives of Christians and the life of the church should differ from those of the unredeemed. The Christian and the church should be salt and light. Preparing spiritual leaders who have the grace, credibility, and wisdom to effect such change demands more than transmission of knowledge. Equipping for transformative ministry requires a divinely empowered and educationally intentional experience that leads to transformation in the lives of students.

Ministry Education that Transforms brings together theological insight and educational research in support of practical methods that align with transformative ends. The authors experience with Global Associates for Transformational Education (GATE) workshops, and the impact they have had with this approach to education formation, testifies that this is not a mere call for change, but a tried and tested methodology crucial to theological education.
