Assembly Required Book One, (Hardcover)

This book, Assembly Required, is about knowing where your place is in the Body of Christ - knowing where you fit, and allowing God to fasten you there so that the Body of Christ may function fittingly. It is God's design for the Body of Christ to function with you; therefore, without you something's missing, and it won't be able to do what God has designed it to do.

"Too many believers are unsatisfied with where they are; because they are not fulfilling their assignment in life. It grieves me to see believers vying for a position that they are not assigned to from God, nor qualified to do. I pray that the Holy Spirit will open our understanding so that we all will appreciate that we were uniquely made and designed by God in a special and distinctive way for service unto Him". - Ferdinand J. Johnson
