Study Guide Included in Book
There are so few times that I have read/studied a book that exudes the love of God, and Holy Spirit awakenings as this book does! It fits no matter what your age, color, creed, religion, God's love will awaken you and touch you as you read.
According to the words of Perkins, we need to be ready to fall on our knees for repentance. Not only to God, but to fellow members on this excursion of life. We must have forgiveness. Only then can we be reconciled with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
I was blessed to be raised by parents who taught us this premise. We took the little children's song "Jesus Loves the Little Children" to heart. Do you remember the chorus? "Red and yellow black or white, They are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world."
We have to face our prejudices. Our racism. Even when we think we have no racism in us, pray, keep praying, keep praying. Kneel and pray again! God will strip you of all of this. It is at this point, we can truly look at one another and not see the color of the skin. God has put us (ministers, missionaries, lay workers) in the middle of a world that cries out for His mercy! His Children cry out for the shape of the world, and sincerely desire His return!
Once we have broken free of the bondage of seeing with the eyes, then we can see with ourspirit. And we can become "one blood". One church.
The book has a study guide in the back that will walk you through becoming "One Blood". It can be used for groups, but I found the book to be more of Perkins self-reflection. And I know i did a lot of self-inspection, and crying on my knees. I believe that this will reach the masses better if it passed on.Study the book. Do not just read it through. Ask God to open your eyes and your heart, so that you will be receptive to what Pastor Perkins is saying. When you finish your book, pass it on to someone you think might be receptive to the read.
I give the author...
