Relevant, Powerful..Must Read!

In this book Bishop Mattera calls the church to "begin with the end in mind" by pointing us back to God's original intent of dominion and to disciple nations. We were created to "reign in life" with Christ according to Romans 5:17 and the prophetic message found in this book will ignite passion and arm you with insight to take our proper place of dominion and leadership on the earth. If you are a leader who desires to train and release disciples to turn this world upside down or if you are a follower of Christ who desires to walk in God's highest purpose, this book is a must read for you!

MUST READ for all Christians and especially leaders

This book is a must read for all believers and all sincere Christian leaders who believe in the Great Commission and the dominion mandate! Changed my life, our ministry and is impacting our nation.

A must for Gatekeepers

This book immediately gets to where you live! Ruling in the Gates deals with life. It comes from the perspective of a City Leader in Biblical times where life flowed from the Gates of a City. This is one of the finest books I've read as it presents a wholistic Christian Worldview. This is a must read for all Leaders who want to see Christ have preeminence in every area of life.

The Complete Gospel of the Kingdom

The mandate given to mankind is the "fill the earth and subdue it, and to have dominion." The mission of the Church of Jesus Christ is to "make disciples of all the nations." Rarely will you encounter a book that more completely fleshes out these commands and with them the full purpose of the cross of Christ and His church. Dr. Mattera has an understanding of the workings of the church that few can match. This is necessary, since it is through the church that God initiates his work. If you are a minister or want to become one, you need to read this book. I venture to say that, after reading this book, you will have a better understanding of the meaning of the Gospel and the purpose of the church than 90% of the ministers in America, maybe more. For those that are not called to ministry: If you lack a sense of purpose in your life, this is the book for you. Your interest in politics, art, law, medicine, sports, philosophy, or any discipline you can name will finally have meaning in God, and thus for you. This book will hammer home the full meaning of "The earth is the Lord's" and, once that happens, your life will never be the same. I recommend this book without reservation.

Great Kingdom Principles

This book has great insight about what the church is supposed to be doing as an agent of change in society. God's kingdom is destined to increase in influence over time in every sphere of our society and Dr. Mattera makes a strong case always from the Word and demonstrated by Church's history through the ages. Take your time reading this book.
