Martin Luther would have written a glowing recommendation of this book if he were alive today. In part one, Beckham explors the traditional church paradigm and the history that drives it compared to a cell-based model for church life.

Esau, the elder of the two men whose loins produced the country of Edom, would often have conflicts with Jacob, whose group of sons formed Israel.
