Overflow by Michael Reeves

 

This book is focused on how the joy of the Trinity inspires our mission. The book contains the following chapters: 

Introduction: Knowing the Triune God

God’s Love: The Fountain of All Goodness

God’s Glory: The Radiance of the World

God’s Abundance:  The Barren Land of No Trinity

God’s Light: Shining in the Darkness

Each chapter has questions for reflection which makes it appropriate for a group study. One of the quotes I found informative in the book is, “Mission is the overflow of love from the enjoyment of diving fellowship. As we partake in the Father’s pleasure in His Son, and the Son’s pleasure in His Father, and the Spirit’s enlivening of their mutual love, it causes us to share their love for the world, thus we become like what we worship.” Before we as Christians can engage in missions, we need to understand and respond to the love God has in first coming to us in the form of the Trinity.

I highly recommend this thought provoking and challenging book. I received this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for this honest review.
