Where are we coming from? Some have asked. With about a month to go until our first meeting, I thought I would offer some resources to whet your appetite. I am including amazon.com links only for your convenience. We don’t make any money from amazon. You may well find some of these at your local library. I am being careful here not to inlude anything too academic, although if you are into that kind of depth, I can suggest some things there as well. Anyway, here goes…

• The Lost Message of Jesus – Steven Chalke
• A Generous Orthodoxy – Brian McLaren
• A New Kind of Christian – Brian McLaren
• Emerging Worship – Dan Kimball
• Searching for God Knows What – Donald Miller

These books are like nothing you have read before (unless you have already read them). They will challenge you at times, and at other times, they may resonate with you. Either way, I suggest you read them one at a time, and with an open mind, being careful to pray about what you are reading.

T-minus 30 days and counting…
