The body of Christ in all her glory

This book details the moving story of how God used the wife and mother of a family, and her 2 ½ year struggle with lung cancer, to teach Jim Bomkamp’s church what the body of Christ is really meant to be and how it should function. The church’s experience of learning to love this family through their actions brought revival to their church. There are three concurrent threads in this story. The story includes the incredible testimony of a woman who matured spiritually from just coming to faith in Christ to becoming a giant in just a short period of time, due her illness and how she dealt with it. This story also includes the lessons of faith that the Lord was teaching Jim at that time, preparing him to pastor. Finally, it includes Jim’s thoughts and insights about what the Bible says about what the body of Christ is and how it is supposed to function, looking especially at how the body of Christ not as a religious organization but as it is supposed to be, or an interconnected spiritual organism with Christ as the head in all things, and also a close family unit.
