Great Start to an Important Discussion!

This short book examines the value of the popular saying, "In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, charity." It is specifically examined in light of the controversies within the United Methodist Church, although the insights found in this book would apply to any Christian. This book has given me a greater appreciation for this vital saying, while also expanding my understanding of how it is not as easily applied as one might think. What are essentials? What are non-essentials? How do we love those who do not hold to essentials? How do we decide? These are great questions to ponder in light of our Lord's call to unity. This book is a good start to the discussion.
