Resumen del Editor

The church becomes more divided each day.

Many seek reassurance or perceived unity by creating doctrinal statements, but that misses the point. Doctrine is necessary, but it is not the solution.

In his new book Until Unity, New York Times best-selling author Francis Chan tells listeners that the real problem is shallow or even nonexistent love for each other. Do we truly understand the gospel? Do we believe in the miracle of the Holy Spirit in us? As believers, Christians are supposed to yield the fruit of supernatural love for one another. Instead, we allow jealousy and selfish ambition to prevail.

God hates this division between his children - and our indifference to it. He has provided the solution to the church through gifting of leaders to equip his people in a way that leads to “unity of the faith” - but not at the expense of truth or holiness. Believers have done a poor job at this, but we can hear the call and be “eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:3).

Although the Bible commands unity, some will resist these unifying efforts. We see it every day. We have to hate sin, love truth, and pursue unity for the church. This is messy, but no matter what, Christians must give everything they have to the pursuit of a unified, restored Bride.

So important, so relevant

I feel my heart moving and the spirit moving when I read this book. I’m challenged and brought to my knees in prayer. Prayer for the church our community, and in my home wife my wife and kids. Thank you for your heart Francis. Thank you for your humility. God bless

Wow

I am blown away. I could not stop listening. I am left convicted. This is a must read for any Christian who longs for the peace of God to reign in the life of the Church.

Needed conviction!

Very convicting plea from one of God’s prophets that is critical for those who love and care for the Body of Christ. Very helpful insight for prioritizing our heart’s desires in serving God and the impact to the world that results. May God forgive our unwillingness to love and repair relationships and may the Holy Spirit give us love for each other.

another great book

Frances Chan always delivers God's truth in deep convicting ways. I appreciate him. thank you❤🙌

Inspiring towards self examination

Francis Chan continues in his bold plea to the modern church to wake up to what has become of the western Christian church. A plea of unity while so many leaders continue to divide over secondary issues often lead by ulterior motives of self-promotion and self-righteous thinking. A must read for all who are serious about the gospel and reaching the world as a united front.

True Unity as the Body of Christ

I recommend every member of the body of Christ Jesus to listen and truly open up their hearts to receive. They will know us by our life for one another-Jesus

A message worth hearing.

A much needed message on a touchy topic.
The writer reads the book...his voice sometimes sounds stretched...but that's just Francis Chan. Another thought provoking, easy to read, short book to make you check yourself.

A Call to Unity in Christ.

I needed to hear the message of this book. It rekindled the early day passion to follow Christ and build a community of people who love God, each other, and desire others to do the same. I want everyone to see Christ by the love we have for each other.

A MUST READ!❤️

This book has opened my eyes in so many ways and has brought self reflection and freedom in my walk with Jesus. If your looking for a book that’s meatier along with a book tied with scripture/truth this book is it! Love it!

The Church as One

A lot of people are not happy with Francis and this book as they feel he is sacrificing truth for unity. They obviously haven’t read the book with an open mind. Francis is striving for unity with true believers, not minimizing key doctrinal issues, but rather not causing quarrels based on non-salvific and secondary issues. Great heart check for me as I have slandered my brothers and sisters in Christ for not aligning exactly with my understanding of certain things. This book has driven me to repentance and opened my eyes to what God desires for his church and I pray it does the same for you.
