God's Dream Team: A Call to Unity [Paperback]

Tommy Tenney (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1999

The only unanswered prayer of Jesus: "That they may be one" If a family can have a dream home...If a working person can have a dream job...If Martin Luther King can dream of a day when all races live together in peace...Surely then, God can dream of a day when His children work together in unity. God's Dream Team is his church - unified, reaching its potential in power. Five times in John 17, Jesus prayed "that they may be one..." hoping, perhaps, that emphasis might make His dream come true. Too often, we perceive man's will as weak, yet it is strong enough that God himself will not violate it. So, only God's refusal to violate man's will-and man's resistant nature - leave Jesus' prayer unanswered. His dream is in our hands. Let's answer His call to unity and make His dream come true.

Review

Unity among believers, without compromising truth, is one of God's great desires, yet it has proven to be one of the most difficult things to do. Tommy Tenney provides wonderful insights and I believe inspired ideas on this challenging subject. -- Bill Bright, Founder, Campus Crusade for Christ

This review is from: God's Dream Team: A Call to Unity (Paperback)

After reading The God Chasers, I could hardly wait until this book hit the stands. It does not disappoint. When will Christians forget denominational barriers, old hurts, all the things which divide us, and become ONE? The God Chasers made me so hungry for more of the Lord, and God's Dream Team spurs me to action. Tommy Tenney accurately conveys the voice of the Lord in this book. The investment of reading this book will reap rich rewards!

This review is from: God's Dream Team: A Call to Unity (Paperback)

Tenney's insight into "Church unity" is incredible. We all know we're supposed to get along, but for centuries we've found a way not to do that. Today, to be the church God wants us to be, we must work together.

Revival in South America was birthed in the unity and meeting of pastors from around the denominational spectrum. They worked and prayed together to see the purposes of God fulfilled in their cities and countries. The impact was revival and awakening that changed the course of history for the Kingdom of God.

We've seen unity produce strength in the relationships of pastors here too. In Ft Wayne, Indiana, dozens and dozens of pastors from Assemblies of God to Catholic meet together a couple of times each month to pray together. If that weren't enough, they attend a three day prayer summit once a year to seek the face of God for their city. They have united to reach their city of over 200,000 people. The result is a unity and strenght that allows churches to work together in evangelism and ministry support. They serve each other and are growing in spiritual strength.

Read Tenney's book and look for the way you can unify the body of Christ in your town. When we all adopt the Father's dream of a unified church, we will see many more people won to the Cross of Christ than we do now in separated and segregated churches.
