Gene Edwards challenges one of the most entrenched traditions in modern Christianity: the role of the professional pastor. Drawing from both Scripture and church history, Edwards argues that the contemporary pastoral office is not only unscriptural but also spiritually debilitating, for pastors and congregations alike. Through personal anecdotes, historical insight, and biblical analysis, he reveals how the institutional pastorate emerged not from the early church but from post-apostolic traditions, particularly Roman Catholic practices.

Gene Edwards offers a provocative examination of the early church, highlighting a time when leadership was entirely in the hands of ordinary believers—non-professionals without titles, theological degrees, or ecclesiastical authority. Drawing from both Scripture and historical context, Edwards illustrates how the explosive growth and spiritual vitality of the first-century church thrived under lay leadership. He argues that the church’s earliest years were marked by simplicity, spontaneity, and a deep dependency on Christ as the true head of the body.

The reason for this book: to bring to us a totally new beginning for the body of Christ. Gene Edwards challenges the long-held evangelical ideal of restoring a so-called "New Testament church" by reconstructing its biblical elements. Edwards argues that the early churches described in the New Testament were not institutional models to replicate but organic, living expressions of Christ—unique, Spirit-led communities that emerged naturally within their cultural contexts.

It happened 1800 years ago. The chaotic arrangement was accepted and later became the only way to arrange Paul's letters. As a result, we cannot know what the New Testament is saying. We have never seen the church of Century One. We do not know what happened in the first Christian century. We have no model of the first-century from which to work.

You have read the book of Acts before, but you have never heard the men who lived it tell the story themselves. For the first eleven chapters PETER tells the story of Acts. Then beginning in chapter thirteen Barnabas tells his part of the story . . . then Silas. Then TIMOTHY, etc. It is as though each man left a diary for you to read. You now have a record of the eye witness account of the first-century events. Acts in First Person is the perfect companion to The Story of My Life . . . as Told by Jesus Christ. The five historical books of the New Testament are all now in first person.

The author grew up in a working class family, living at the bottom rung of poverty. He began working in the Texas oil fields at age fourteen. Here is a beautiful story of encouragement to everyone who works for a living, whether it be in the home or in the workplace. God the Father could have had his Son live in any class of society, but He chose to immerse him in the daily grind of the working class. Your Lord was a day laborer. Here is a story which opens a window into the heart of God and the high esteem in which he holds those who labor — from the housewife to the steeplejack.

Sharing Christ with others was a natural part of life for Gene Edwards.

Gene wrote this little book not long before his death in December of 2022. SeedSowers now brings it to you.

You may have noticed that much of today's ministry comes neatly packaged along with a slick marketing strategy. The offer of health, wealth, and success in all you do is a pleasant detour from the actual message of the Lord Jesus. Perhaps you never really considered that even though salvation is the free gift of God, transformation to spiritual maturity is not a gift at all. It's a process. The cross of Calvary was God's appointment for his son. The Cross in Your Path is the Son's appointment for You. This book is concerned with that second cross, the one you are to take up and carry.

Few pieces of Christian literature ever address the subject if division in the body of Christ. Fewer still address the problem of how a Christian should conduct himself in such times and how to survive the aftermath.

This book is for those believers, be they Catholic, Protestant, Conservatives, Fundamentalists, or Pentecostal/Charismatics who want to utterly abandon it all, from top to bottom, and start over in a way that is a revolutionary, radical departure from all present-day church practices.

A rip roaring, hair raising, edge-of-your-chair saga of the first-century believers. From the day of Pentecost, on through the first seventeen years, every historical figure of that age is there: alive, vivid, believable.

You will discover there is much which Christ did before He created. Watch as He passes farther into the eternals.
