Book Review: The Shack
Patty Slack

The opening story pulled me in; the later dialogs had me dog-earing pages to go back to. I find myself referring to ideas from its pages in conversation. There’s a lot of truth and love packed into this little story. I love the fact that it doesn’t play down the role of Jesus like so many current treatises on spirituality seem to do, but illustrates and reveals his role in drawing people to God’s heart. . . .

" ... an attractional church can work in a Christendom context, but in a missionary context it actually undermines our efforts to reach people meaningfully with the Gospel of Jesus. It is literally out-moded! A ‘sent people’ no matter how you configure it implies a going of sorts. And when combined with the other primary theological metaphor in the Bible of how God reaches the nations, namely the Incarnation, it clashes head-on with the primary expectation built into attractional forms of church.

New Frontier?
Greg Taylor
03/20/2008 -
Skeptics still may not agree with emergent sensibilities, but at least The New Christians: Dispatches from the Emergent Frontier leaves nothing in the bag to wonder about. Tony Jones lays out a treatise on the emergent movement in the newest of his flurry of books. In it he builds a long list of “dispatches” from the frontier and suggests that it’s decision time for mainline churches: join us, support us, or get out of the way. . . . MORE
A Revolution of Love is Breaking Out on the Streets of Denver, Colorado
New Wineskins, Matt Wallace
03/18/2008 -
"The interesting thing about Ezekiel 37 is that it is a passage about God's people. I like this passage for this reason. When God says, "Can these bones live?" it's not just a question to us about homeless youth of Denver, it's a question to all of us about our own churches. It's been really incredible to watch God use stinky homeless kids to rattle the dry bones of churches and vise versa. We see it happening . . . dry bones are coming to life and a vast army is rising from the streets and within churches."

The fellowship that is only found in Wal-Mart lines or McDonald’s playground—the moments that bring together people of all different walks of life—came this one day to an overcrowded courtyard. That Sunday afternoon, for two hours, we joined in a gospel experience. We stepped into this complex and we discovered that God was there. He was in the process of loving, liberating, and announcing the good news of the kingdom. . . . MORE
The 21st Century Restoration - Will We Join It?
Greg Taylor
03/10/2008 -
We’re called to unity with all Christians everywhere who call Christ Lord. When Jesus prayed his unity prayer, he didn’t parse every doctrine and neither will I here. We live the Christ-life and follow the rule of the Holy Spirit to keep that everlasting covenant God the Father has kept since creation. Christ and Paul and our own more recent forefathers such as Thomas Campbell call us to produce fruit and look for fruit of the Spirit in the lives of fellow disciples. Will Churches of Christ, Christian Churches/Churches of Christ, and Disciples of Christ join this new restoration? . . . MORE

R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Recovery: Boot Camp for those going through divorce
Suzy Brown
02/28/2008 -
My life has not turned out like I thought it would. My name is Suzy Brown, and I’m on a mission. I didn’t want this mission. I didn’t plan on this mission. And when God said, “Suzy, here’s what I want you to do,” I first said, “No thanks, I have other plans.” But, sort of like Jonah, here I am. I never considered in my wildest imagination that I would have a ministry committed to helping women find a new vision after divorce. But that’s where I am, and the need is overwhelming. . . . MORE
