The Titus Diary is the story behind the letters to the Thessalonian churches. Reading the letters of Paul is often dry, devoid of context and separated from the story which led to the letters being written. In this account of the apostle Paul's second missionary journey, told through the eyes of Titus, listeners accompany Paul as he travels throughout Asia Minor and Greece. They see his struggles, the persecution and the suffering which Paul and Silas endured to bring the gospel into Europe.

Gene Edwards challenges one of the most entrenched traditions in modern Christianity: the role of the professional pastor. Drawing from both Scripture and church history, Edwards argues that the contemporary pastoral office is not only unscriptural but also spiritually debilitating, for pastors and congregations alike. Through personal anecdotes, historical insight, and biblical analysis, he reveals how the institutional pastorate emerged not from the early church but from post-apostolic traditions, particularly Roman Catholic practices.

Gene Edwards offers a provocative examination of the early church, highlighting a time when leadership was entirely in the hands of ordinary believers—non-professionals without titles, theological degrees, or ecclesiastical authority.

He argues that the church’s earliest years were marked by simplicity, spontaneity, and a deep dependency on Christ as the true head of the body.

You may have noticed that much of today's ministry comes neatly packaged along with a slick marketing strategy. The offer of health, wealth, and success in all you do is a pleasant detour from the actual message of the Lord Jesus. Perhaps you never really considered that even though salvation is the free gift of God, transformation to spiritual maturity is not a gift at all. It's a process. The cross of Calvary was God's appointment for his son. The Cross in Your Path is the Son's appointment for You. This book is concerned with that second cross, the one you are to take up and carry.

It happened 1800 years ago. The chaotic arrangement was accepted and later became the only way to arrange Paul's letters. As a result, we cannot know what the New Testament is saying. We have never seen the church of Century One. We do not know what happened in the first Christian century. We have no model of the first-century from which to work.
