Church Thoughts Part 6

Hey guys

So this will be a very short update but I found some books that I think will interest you guys. If you want to see where I believe the church should be headed than you can get a head start by reading one of these 3 books. If you read one of these books you'll have a better understanding of where we are headed in the future and the obstacles that we are probably going to face in this generation.

No Perfect People Allowed by John Burke

This is the best book that I found on the general church. This is the model that I personally want to use for our church. Not copy the whole thing but instill their principles and some of their ideas.

They Like Jesus, but Not the Church

This book is more about the culture that we want to reach and what they think about Christianity.

UnChristian

This book is more about what the culture thinks about Christianity and how Christians should respond. This book offers hard numbers and researched data.

So if you want a head start and don't want to wait for July. Then please buy one of these books and read it. They are full of stories and they are very engaging. They don't cost that much either.

Another option is that you can just borrow it from me..lol..hahahahaha but that will take long since I read slow. So buy it!! We'll make up more ground that way.
