God's Vision for Your Church

Grace leaves boundary to shame! There is more depth than we can measure, greater height than we can imagine. That is the dimension of Grace.Learn the ways of growing in grace. Understand the power of grace multiplication. In this book, you'll be convinced that grace is the fueling power behind unity. This book lets us realize that Grace at personal level is a rung to step into a bigger Grace. Grace does not magnify our weaknesses, it is the strength surpassing our weaknesses. We can continually build that strength when we gather more grace. The way we do this is by fostering relationship with other legitimate parts of God's body. Only by subordinating our ministries and gifting to the wonders of Grace, can we realize the full functioning power of God's church. When I read the foreword, I knew immediately this book is a telescope of God. Cannistraci zooms in to let us see diversity, and zooms out for us to see the wider power of unity. Diversity is preamble and unity is the conclusion! What a way to consummate the purpose of God! We are approaching a new day of incorporating archipelago Grace into a corporate Grace. The author's masterpiece was his focus on pluralistic ministries, which should not intimidate our spiritual advancement as a "single" ministry. Cannistraci stepped back into ancient time to give us a clearer picture. He positioned us from an aerial perspective to look at the different tribes of Israel as an epitome of God's Grace. Likewise, in today's contemporary scene, a similar Grace is alive in the firmament of every function of church ministry. Grace is drawing the rivulets of different ministries, gifting, offices and languages into the mainstream of God's purpose. This book teaches us to start learning to appreciate the tapestry of diversity in today's ministry. Surely Cannistraci's conviction expressed in this book will draw many more to join him in uniting the House of the Lord.
