Is it any wonder that people worldwide lay awake at night wondering what may come next? In a world that seems to be turned upside down and without faith, unity, even unity within the church, seems to be fleeting. Neighbor rises against neighbor, and family members are unable to agree; the idea of unity in the world as we know it seems nearly impossible. The concept of free speech is challenged by those who feel they know what is best for all. Any who disagree with their personal ideology may find themselves the subject of angry outbursts, and at times, even violence. Actually, violent outbursts may be observed on all sides of the political spectrum. It would seem in some circles that freedom of speech only applies to those who comply with the concepts they mutually agree on.
Review :
Unity in the Body of Christ was on the heart of Jesus as demonstrated in his high priestly prayer in John 17. In Christ, all have Holy Spirit, and in that sense, we are already one...but living it out is easier said than done. Dr. Smith is passionate to see the church working for the expansion of the Kingdom of God...submitted to the King and working together within locality. This book will challenge the reader to seek unity with purpose.

In a world where the church is under constant pressure to conform to humanistic beliefs that oppose the Word of God, The Power of Unity is a resource and a reminder that God has fully empowered His church to advance the kingdom, as we remain united in Him.

Kathy masterfully shares how the work, operation and ministry of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit with their varying gifts function in the believer's life as the Church. Practical, powerful and applicable, this book will help leaders and all God's people walk together in unity to fulfill Gods plans and purpose.
Kathy mentions the church is now in an Esther moment to intercede and disrupt the enemy's plans, I couldn't agree more. Read and study this book to discover your potential as a healthy, connected and functioning part of God's Family / Church and see the world changed!

I just finished reading Kathy's book on the Power of Unity. I just love the way Kathy writes. Her book and her writing are easy to read and easy to digest. Some books I read I get lost after every other paragraph. This book is practical as well, as it will provoke us to take a biblical look at how God intended unity to function in our lives and in the life of the church. I felt like in reading this book, I was reading a handbook on how God desires us to work together to fulfill his divine purposes on earth. The challenge for all of us will be in asking the Lord how to implement these truths into our lives and into our churches. If we could truly grasp "the power of unity" we could turn the world upside down... Pastor Brian Weeks/Brian Weeks Ministries and Solomon's Porch Rehoboth, Massachusetts
