In John 17, Jesus prayed for the unity of the church. Yet today, we tend to accept disunity as inevitable. In this book, Anthony Burgess calls us to addresses the spiritual and visible unity

that Jesus desires for His people. Burgess speaks of how union and communion with Christ

and His people are "the life and comfort of believers." Giving careful consideration of what

Christian unity should look like, Burgess excels at uncovering common causes of division and

promoting means to advance unity among God's people.
