The
Genius of One, written by author and Pastor Greg
Holder, is a book that looks at the biblical design of community, while
offering leadership and guidance on how this community can be a reality for
each of us.
I had never heard of
Greg Holder before reading this book, but immediately enjoyed his writing style.
He teaches clearly using interesting illustrations that connect with the
reader, he’s personal and humorous, and the book flows well and makes sense.
The book is balanced.
He doesn’t suggest community is following strict guidelines or that it has to
look a specific way. He realizes we are all gifted and wired uniquely.
Everybody that reads this book will come away with applications unique and
personal to them.
I would recommend this
book to anybody that wants to see greater unity and intimacy in the church, among
Christians, and in the world as a whole.
It’s a great book that
really does apply to everybody. Even if you don’t agree with every single thing
he says, it’s a great conversation starter that offers hope that healing,
reconciliation, and community are all possible. I’m thankful I had the
opportunity to read it.
