WOW OUCH AMEN


Here's a great quote from a UK pastor as it appears in Emerging Churches:

In the UK, people would no more drop into a church for a casual visit than an outsider might drop into a mosque or a gay bar for a casual visit. It is a big deal to take the initiative to discover an alternative way of life. One wouldn’t quite know how to behave and may wonder what other people think.

Wow. Ouch. Amen.

Hey Paul, guess what book I just got from Amazon? A very helpful, stimulating read, and I'm only on chapter 2.

Thanks for the kind words Paul.

Is this book a "to borrow" or "to buy" ?

Siggy Islander said...

Hey Jer, for me this is a definite "To Buy". If you are only going to read one book on the emerging church, this is it.

IS there anything that makes it really stand out from all the other books on emerging church? They all start to sound the same after awhile no?
