Book Review: United, Captured by God's Vision For Diversity by Trillia Newbell
I loved this little book because I love diversity and this author. I had wanted this book since I knew it was released but as a book reviewer, I have had a book back log and was not able to get it then. I was delighted to get a copy free of charge from the publisher at the Gospel Coalition Women's Conference last month. I did not have to write this review but am writing because I want you to know about this little gem of a book.
I personally would love to see churches all around us more diverse. I have been actively pursuing diverse friendships because I know this is how God wants us to live. This little book gave a basic theology of diversity and God's heart. It also gave us insight into the author's personal story regarding diversity. God's heart is for all nations of people. This book will help you see that and grow in this.
The author is precious. I was blessed to hear her speak at the conference and hearing her heart was beautiful. It made me want to read this book even more. I think you should read it whether you are for diversity or against it. It will help shape your thoughts Scripturally on this topic. It also will give you further resources to focus on if you desire to read more on this topic.
This book is an easy read. The author writes in that warm and conversational way that I love. It is worth a look. You can get a copy from Amazon here.
