-In Body Life, Ray C. Stedman uses the leverage of the Word itself to bring us back to the church's real meaning and mission. With strong, convincing arguments he points to the weaknesses within the institutional church, and clearly reminds us of the strength inherent in Christ's body, the true church.-
- BILLY GRAHAM
-This powerful book's impact on the church has been significant. It is time that a new generation recognize the blessings that flow to those who accept Stedman's challenge . . . It is the first book that achieved widespread recognition for its emphasis on fellowship, the diversity of spiritual gifts, the -one anothers- of Scripture, and the importance of maintaining unity.-
