Spring 2013
January 2013 we begin discussion of the book Falling Upward by Richard Rohr. The spiritual life can be described in two halves -- this intriguing book looks at the second half which is often precipitated by failures and "falling" that makes way for deeper wisdom and a more real self.
Fall 2012
September 9 launchee a month-long series on the hot political topic of immigration and how the Gospel might invite us to respond. Then the class will read and discuss Rob Bell's compelling and contorversial book, Love Wins.
Spring 2012
How People Grow by Cloud and Townsend. The book's publisher, Zondervan, described the book's theme this way:
In this theological foundation to their best-selling book Boundaries, they discuss:
- What the essential processes are that make people grow
- How those processes fit into a biblical understanding of spiritual growth and theology
- How spiritual growth and real-life issues are one and the same
- What the responsibilities are of pastors, counselors, and others who assist people in growing
- and what your own responsibilities are in your personal growth.
