Are you tired of shadow-boxing your way through the spiritual life? Most believers live in a state of arrested development-stuck at the foundation of the faith, perpetually learning but never mastering the craft of spiritual maturity. They drink from the Jacob's Wells of tradition and convenience, only to find themselves thirsty again.
In The Imperishable Craft, Dr. Laurence Muzembi-a scholar-practitioner with a rare blend of strategic business leadership (DBA, MBA) and deep theological rigor (Th.D., MDiv)-issues a powerful call to move from the amateur to the artisan. This is not a book for those seeking a spiritual vacation; it is a high-performance manual for the Unashamed Workman who is ready to go on to perfection.
Drawing from the forensic precision of Romans 6, the athletic strategy of 1 Corinthians 9, and the Greater Than hunger of Matthew 12, Dr. Muzembi provides a masterclass in the mechanics of the soul. You will learn how to:
Reckon the Amateur Dead: Transition from a slave of your moods to a master of your Instruments of Righteousness.
Leave the Foundation: Stop re-laying the basics and start building a life that survives the fire of judgment.
Embrace Selective Deprivation: Master the Temperance of the athlete to trade passing pleasures for an Imperishable Crown.
Rightly Divide the Work: Apply the precision of a master craftsman to your daily service and study.
Featuring a 12-week Mastery Study Guide and a Mastery Scorecard, this book bridges the gap between the marketplace and the ministry. Whether you are a corporate leader or a local servant, it is time to lay aside every weight and press toward the mark.
The Master Architect is in the workshop. The blueprints are open. Will you answer the Upward Call?
