We all have a need for companionship in one way or another. These connections can have an influence on many aspects of our lives. The Power of Connections insightfully delves into the way that we connect with other people and with God. The main topics covered in the book include our need for human interaction, how we can evaluate our associations, how we handle both losing and reacquiring connections, and finally how important it is that we cultivate the proper connections in our lives.
What I love most about this book is the abundant use of illustrative examples. There is never a dull moment, as nearly every paragraph compares the point being made to a vehicle inspection, or the purchase of a new lamp, or the way that a store manager deals with theft, or numerous other comparisons too many to mention. References to biblical examples are also regularly included, especially toward the end of the book.
Despite being relatively short, The Power of Connections provides an enjoyable and influential consideration of our everyday interactions and the effect they have on us. Cassandra Elliott’s book will lead you to meditate about your relationship with your friends, associates, and most importantly God.
