Jesus Gets What He Prays For
In John 17, Jesus prays an impossible prayer:
"Let them be one just as We are one."
How can people be one as the Father and Son are one? If Jesus prays for us to be one, why are Christians divided into 45,000 denominations? And, is there really hope that Jesus gets what He prays for?
This book wrestles with the prophetic implications of Jesus's Prayer in three different sections:
First - a deep dive into the meaning of Jesus’ prayer and the nature and unity of God.
Next - a biblical and historical odyssey in search of different perspectives on Jesus's Prayer.
Finally - seven strategies for those in pursuit of John 17 unity.

From the Introduction
“…As I child, I was shocked by the scandal of the church’s division into 45,000 denominations. As a college student, I began to wrestle with the full weight of Jesus’s prayer: How can human beings be one just as the Father is one with the Son? As a young man, the Lord dramatically called me to work for the unity of his church. Now, in middle age, I have been working for a fulfillment of Jesus’s prayer for over 20 years...
While today we do not see the prayer answered in fullness, I believe we may be living in the generation that will see the perfect answer to this prayer. The result of this will be a spiritual revolution far more radical than the Protestant Reformation or Pentecostal Renewal. It will be an advancement of humanity much greater than the printing press, or the first flight. The full answer to Jesus’s prayer in John 17 will change the world with end of the age implications.
No wonder it has not happened yet, because when it does everything will change..."
