Synopsis

In the pages of this book, Alan Hirsch takes us on a really deep dive into the fivefold (APEST) typology of ministry as articulated in Ephesians 4:1-16, but he takes us to a depth and scope that few (if any) have ventured before. By laying out the most comprehensive model of APEST to date--one that incorporates deep theology as well as innovative practice--Hirsch once again demonstrates an almost uncanny capacity to change not only the nature and content of conversation itself, but also the scorecard on how we understand calling, church, leadership, and organization.

About this title

From the Author:

I have to say that I believe I was born to write this book.  Writing it, for me, felt like my own personal Ph.D. program.  I discovered that the scope and depth of APEST (Eph.4 typology of functions/purposes/callings) was much bigger than I had ever imagined.  5Q is my attempt to articulate these discoveries.  I believe 5Q can help usher in real health, maturity, and wholeness to the church in our time. 
But this is not just a book.  There is a whole system of tools, assessments, coaching options, consulting and training that is also offered to back it up.  Go to 5Qcentral.com and take a look.   Also, it is worth sneaking in over here, the book is offered significantly cheaper on the website than here on amazon and there are discount options for bulk purchase as well.  Go to 5qcentral.com/books/
