Convergence, Summing Up All Things In Christ

by David Croom

The rapid growth of the early church was the result of men and women being gripped by a vision. They were living witnesses to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and their lives were the result of celebrating Him. In order to mobilize others, we need to bring them into an encounter with God so they can bear witness of Him with an unshakable conviction. That is the key to making the good news a viral movement. The purpose of this book is not academic or theoretical. The object is to focus our attention on God’s purpose for our lives and learn from Him how He wills to use our time on this planet. The stakes are high and God is calling ordinary people into an extraordinary plan. “We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.” 1 John 5:19

Disclosure: I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. Thanks to the publishers for the opportunity to read this book for an unbiased review.

I enjoyed this book as I felt like David Croom was speaking with me in his wonderful writing style on one of my favorite topics Christ! I learned alot of useful information to back up my personal belief that it is our relationship with Christ that is the most important. Since reading this book I have shared it with my pastor's wife and a few of the women in our Bible study are also interested in reading it.

My mother spoke about this book a few nights ago and gave me her copy to read, I started last night and I couldn’t put it down. I absolutely love this book! It is so well written, the author, David Croom clearly has a talent for writing. Instead of just reading a book, he makes you feel like it was written for you. I highly recommend this book, whether you have strong beliefs or not this book is a wonderful piece of literature that all can enjoy.

I usually read a novel in one day, but this book was so engrossing that it took a couple of extra days to absorb the information. It confirmed what I have believed for awhile that it should not be about the church building but the relationship we have with Christ and coming in line with "the big picture". I especially liked that this author researched many bible words and made them clear in their meaning.
