This is the 40 days of community devotional book that gives meaning to following Jesus by participating in the bigger picture beyond just me… it’s focused on getting your circle on and living together as a community with other believers.
The book emphasizes togetherness… learned in the context of the small group. Better Together calls us to Love, Reach Out, Fellowship, Grow, Serve and Worship Together. All good stuff!
The next step? Carrying the theme out into the world. I like that… let’s all learn to do good together, then let’s all put on our Jesus and do good everywhere, all throughout the week! A key verse from the book for Community: “You must learn to be considerate of one another, cultivating a life in common” 1 Corinthians 1:10.
Confession: I’ve spent 4 months in this book. Yep, a few extra days marinating in the concepts here… this was intentional on my part. As you know, the Capital U for Unity is a big deal to me in my special world.
If you haven’t done so I would encourage you to read this book with your small group. It’s meaningful and excellent!
Q’s: Have you read any other good books on Unity? How can we make sure our interactions collectively as Christians are a testimony of the love of Jesus to our community?
Ha! Our small group spent 5 months on “40 Days of Purpose” so you’re speedy at 4 months!
Right now we’re doing Blackaby’s “Experiencing God” — only 8 chapters left after starting the 26-chapter study in January. We’re not in any big hurry…
Thanks for the review. We’re always looking for a good study.
I’ll be sure to check out Experiencing God too, thank you Carol !
