Church Is Who We Are is an in-depth look at church as people rather than just as institution or organization. It starts with a broad definition of church moving to applications within modern society. In an age when church is being marginalized in the West, the book provides a clarion call for the people who are the church to function as church across society. It is almost a textbook on how to apply Christianity seven days a week, recognizing that vocation of profession is where we are placed by God as a major part of our ministry unto him. Scripture verses abound throughout the book, giving the reader a sense of the biblical value of Christians themselves being the church and living out reality. The author encourages every Christian to see their life as light and salt in the hands of the Holy Spirit to bring change in every situation. The truths in this book will revolutionize lives. Read ready to be challenged and changed.

“Church Is Who We Are is a systematic, relevant, and biblical exposé of the church that every Christian should embrace.”
—Pat P. Glasgow, former president, West Indies School of Theology
“Church Is Who We Are is a well-crafted work of literature which supplies the reader with a reservoir of information which can easily serve to form a foundational structure for study in the fundamental nature of the church. I highly recommend this book as a point of reference for a balanced and unbiased view of the church’s operation as the redemptive force it was designed to be and a representative of God’s government on earth.”
—Selwyn Brathwaite, presiding bishop, Barbados District, Pentecostal Assemblies of the West Indies
“Having pastored for more than three decades, I am convinced that this book is a must-read for pastors and leaders, as well as all believers who desire to have a balanced perspective on who we are as the church on earth. Gerald Seale has revealed in this book tremendous insights into the truth about the universal body of Christ and succeeds in making clear what is the nature and purpose of the church.”
—Wesley Dear, founder and senior pastor, Covenant Life Teaching Centre
“This is a powerful masterpiece that examines the church from so many angles and aspects, from its birth in the book of Acts down through the centuries, through its development to what we have today. Read and be enlightened. May this transformative message quicken your hearts as the living organism, members of the church on earth.”
—Patrick Paul, former general superintendent, Assemblies of God in the Bahamas
“The reader will find at their fingertips an open and honest deep dive into what is church. This book has, and is, causing me to prayerfully examine church the organism and church the organization as well as myself. I sincerely recommend this as a read for church leaders and members as Uncle Gerry, as he is widely known in Barbados, candidly admits the average member is focused on activities; yet in his probative style we come away with a challenge as to who the church is to be.”
—Kevin Hunte, pastor, Abundant Life Assembly
