You've got to be connected! That's all there is to it. But you know that already, don't you! How many times have you heard it? How many times have you said it? Yet here we are waiting for the Lord's people to become one. I've heard it said that there shouldn't be any lone rangers in the church. Yet thousands of people are still riding the ranges of life, all alone, wearing their masks and sporting their shiny new revolvers.

This book is about how you can find your place in the Body of Christ. It takes you on a journey into the place where relationships bring life and the Body of Christ emerges from the Valley of Dry Bones as a great and mighty army! Come be a part of this family.

Mark Pfeifer has written another relevant and revelational book for the Body of Christ. Many people write about how connections are essential for success. However, Mark goes beyond having utilitarian relationships simply for the purpose of personal or organizational agendas. He communicates the heart of God with biblical accuracy and experiential insights by showing how connections must develop into covenantal relationships for the purpose of the King and the Kingdom. This is a must read for you to be a game changer and a change agent.
