Seeing that the headwaters for all church life and form is the community life of the Father, Son, and Spirit. This is both theological and practical. The corporate life that God lives by (eternal life) is the same life that He gives to us. This is a life of loving one another and Jesus said that it comes from heaven (see John 17). This community life is both the engine and the fuel for our lives together as believers, the backbone of organic church life.

This little book provides a clear window into the ultimate source of authentic body life. Delve into its pages and meet the God who is beyond what most of us have imagined, the God in whose collective voice all genuine churches echo.
Frank Viola, Author
My heart rejoices as I have profited from the steady flow of books published in the past ten years that have opened up new vistas concerning life in the Body of Christ. The Community Life of God by Milt Rodgriguez is another welcome addition to this life-stream. I was deeply blessed, refreshed and challenged by this book. The author casts the spotlight on the reality and wonder that God is really the community life of three persons a fact virtually untouched in traditional theology. Milt shows from various angles how the community life of God is the foundation of our organic ekklesia life together in Christ.
