RESIST! : Christian Dissent for the 21st Century

 

August 17, 2011   Category: book review   No Comments comments

Long has brought together a number of writings from different authors and produced this excellent book. Not only is it personally challenging but it is a resource containing ‘prayers and possibilities for Christian resistance today’ (as is titled the second chapter).  If you’d like to be challenged to rethink how to live out your faith and or convince others around you, this could be the book for you. It is normally located in the Hewitson Library which you can assess free, but I have it for now.

God bless

  • Youth Ministry Quotes

    quote openAdolesants are looking for a soul-shaking, heart-waking, world changing God to fall in love with, and if they do not kind that God in the Christian Church, they will most certainly settle for lesser gods elsewhere. Youth look to the church to show them something. Most of the time we have offquote closeered them pizza. -Kenda Creasy Dean
    quote openThe history of primarily calling inexperienced and inadequately trained young people to do youth ministry reflects the myth that youth ministry is a beginner’s job that doesn’t require much education, experience or skill. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Youth ministry is one of the most demanding ministries – so demanding and frustrating that many pastors and congregational leaders don’quote closet know what to do- Roland Martinson
    quote openIf you don’t have kids, it’s our strong recommendation that you’d keep your parenting advice to yourself. In fact, why don’t you write all your great advice down somewhere and take a look at it when your third kid is ten years old. Then you’ll have an understanding for how naive you were; but at least you’ll be glad you kept silequote closent years earlier.- Doug Fields
