Building Up One Another

by Gene A. Getz

Book Overview

The body of Christ can't be all that it should be unless we mature in our interpersonal relationships as the Bible commands. Building Up One Another has been helping believers do just that since 1976, when Gene Getz first published what has since become a best-selling classic. This book, the cornerstone of the well-known "One Another Series," has now been thoroughly updated and rewritten, drawing upon Dr. Getz's church planting and "building up" experience...

Building Up On Another

Gene Getz writes in an easy to follow manner using examples from his own experiences to convey the message of the Jesus commandment to love one another. Getz stresses that a practical and authentic application of Biblical principles changes the doer first in terms of his perspective and attitude toward others within the context of the body of Christ. We often take love for granted in our personal and religious experiences. Getz admonishes the reader to be true to himself and to engage the issues that often cripple our ability to be all that Christ intended. The local church and the universal church need to engage in this timeless study to ensure that her perspective remains relevant and her tools and skillsets are finetuned to meet the needs of the least of these who may be in the next pew.

Excellent book for people who truly want to live out "the body"

This book was a "hand me down from my father". After he passed away, I took the time to read it and realized that he applied much of this book to his life. The idea of giving of one's life to ultimately care for the body was truly demonstrated by my God fearing and serving missionary father.
