In this powerful, revelation-packed book, Danny Silk describes the significant paradigm shift in church life, government, and relationships that has created and sustained the revival culture at Bethel Church in Redding, California.
Through many relevant and true-life stories, the church is revealed as a place of freedom, respect, empowerment, and healthy discipline (not punishment). Culture of Honor challenges the status quo of church leadership structure and presents a refreshing view of the five-fold ministry.
Jesus acknowledged this important principle in Matthew 20:25-26: But Jesus called them to Himself and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet is shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.
If those with power learn how to empower those around them, then surely it will come to pass that, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
You can apply today the truths revealed in this practical yet supernaturally charged set of principles to relationship s in your family, workplace, community, ministry, church wherever you deal with others.

The church has for the longest time been in need of governmental reconstruction. Not only are we in need of having our notions of Kingdom government conceptually and structurally redefined, we also need to have our heart language of Kingdom definition revisited and restated. It is out of our hearts that we will speak and therefore live. Danny Silk, in his book, Culture of Honor, goes a very long way in giving us an inspired, informed, and creative approach to understanding what needs to be the heart culture of the Kingdom. His wit and intelligent authorship will seduce you into your own moments of revelation. Free people cannot live together without honor is a truth that is non-negotiable and in need of application. This book could be one of the most significant to come out of Bethel Church. An essential read for those who desire supernatural fruitfulness. That fruitfulness will come out of the context of honor.
