Based on the multimillion-copy bestseller, Experiencing God, Henry and Melvin Blackaby apply the concepts of the original work to encourage churches to experience God as a body of believers.
Blackaby and son discuss the phenomenal results that occur when believers experience God on a corporate level. Using illustrations from both of their ministries, the authors share their vision of Gods plan for the local church. When the body of Christ comes together into an exciting new relationship with God, the effects on individuals, communities and even nations will be in the realm of something only God can do.
They point out that no Christian is an island. God has placed us into a family, not only so we can contribute and use our God-given gifts, but so we can be nurtured and whole. Its through the church that believers experience the fullness of a loving relationship with God. A healthy church, functioning as God intended, will be equipped for outreach, evangelism and world missions.
