    This book shows the fundamentals of the Trinity and its practical connection to ministry.
  

*by S***I on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2021*

This book shows that the Trinity is more than just a hard to understand theological concept,  but is the foundation of Christian ministry.  It shows how the Trinity permeates everything both in the spiritual and physical world.This book will be helpful to anyone seeking to have a truly Christ centered ministry.Seamands' book is Theological on the one hand but quite practical on the other.  It gives a clear understanding of what  the real  motivation behind ministry should be.Seamands writes with honesty and humility. He shares his own vulnerability and fears to letting go and trusting God.

    EXCELLENT SERMON AND LESSON SERIES FOUNDATION
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2017*

Seamands' book is a needed and sound treatise on practical application of Trinitarian theology.  We have used it in our large southern church as the summer sourcebook for a sermon series titled "Serving in the Image of God", meaning it was the basis for both the sermons and Sunday School lessons for adult and teen classes, adapted by our resident theologian and author.  Seamands' theology is refreshingly pure Wesleyan, and we are Nazarenes, so the fit was warm and wonderful.  The biblical passages in each chapter provided the biblical foundation for the sermons and lessons, and Seamands' excellent quotes from prominent theologians and practical applications were so helpful.  I highly recommend this book with the highest of endorsement.

    How Does the Doctrine of the Trinity Make a Difference in Ministry?
  

*by D***O on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2011*

Seamands, Stephen. 2005. Ministry in the Image of God: The Trinitarian Shape of Christian Service. Downers Grove, IL: IVP Books.How does the doctrine of the Trinity apply to ministry today?  That is the question that Seamands answers in his book on how the Trinity affects Christian service. He declares, "I am convinced that no doctrine is, in fact, more relevant to our identity and calling as ministers than the Trinity" (11). Although Seamands tends to relate more to those in pastoral ministry, what he says applies to all believers if we understand the priesthood of all believers.The first chapter "Trinitarian Ministry: Why it Matters" sets the agenda for the following seven chapters dealing with and progressing from the "Nature of Trinitarian ministry" through to the "Impulses of Trinitarian Ministry."This reviewer found this was an extremely helpful book to prepare for teaching how the doctrine of the Trinity applies in the life of both believers and the functioning of the local church.  The only question one will need to ask from time to time is to what degree does Seamands pastoral tendency flow into his teaching on the Trinity rather than out of it.  Nevertheless, I highly recommend this book to delve into just that question.
