“One Christ One Body Jesus Is Lord” by Donald Sanders is a personal reflection on faith, religion the journey of life. After witnessing countless debates about religion, the existence of God the role of the church, the author felt compelled to share his own perspective—one shaped by his personal experiences and beliefs about truth and the purpose of life.
Sanders begins by asserting that there is only One Christ who came to Earth to reconcile humanity with God through His sacrifice on the cross. He emphasizes the importance of shedding the misconceptions taught by the world and instead embracing the lessons God reveals through His Son. This, he believes, offers the possibility of healing and restoration for all of humanity.
The author shares his personal story, beginning in Ironton, Ohio, a river city in a tri-state region bordered by Kentucky and West Virginia. Raised in a large family without a father figure, Sanders found guidance from his uncles and later followed their path, joining the military and serving in Vietnam. He later became an Ohio State Trooper and eventually relocated to California. Through his life’s hardships—including the loss of his firstborn child and the end of his first marriage—Sanders found solace and blessings through his faith in God. He now enjoys a loving second marriage, a family that includes his son, daughter, son-in-law granddaughters continues to live a life of gratitude for God’s favor.
One Christ One Body Jesus Is Lord is both a testimony of Sanders’ spiritual journey and a call to others to discover the healing and restoration found in embracing the message of Christ. Through his life story, Sanders encourages readers to understand the unity and power of Christ’s sacrifice and how it can transform lives in ways beyond what the world teaches.
