Wonderful Insight

I was reading this in my aim of more deeply understanding Fellowship, the cooperation between empowered partners for the realisation of a vision or dream. While the perspective on Fellowship in this book was Christian, it nonetheless provided a wonderful insight into Fellowship and the path to union between those coming together for a common purpose.

A must read for every Christian

I wondered if anyone else believed fellowship was important in today's society as depicted in the Bible. This book was like a wave of reassurance to me that God's calls us to practice the 'one another's' and not just know them. Too many people today freely give judgments on what is right and wrong, yet rarely take the initiative to show the care and compassion to our fellow brothers and sister in Christ. Combats the selfishness of our lives and through grace motives you to make time for others.

Very Informative

After looking through many bookstores for something on Christian fellowship, I finally found what I was looked for in this book. Our church's vision is to be an Acts 2:42 church. So, what IS fellowship? What does it look like? This book tells you what it is, what it is not, answered all my questions, and increased my knowledge considerably. It's deep, but not written so that it's confusing or "over your head". Boy, did I get an education. Excellent resource.

Wake up and smell the fellowship!

This book does a great job of contrasting the biblical idea of fellowship with what so often passes for fellowship in America. It does it in such a way to encourage you to start that fellowship!
