Two Valley Book Clubs begin tonight. I'll be leading the Rise of Christianity book club discussions. My friend, Brad Dewing, will be leading the Becoming a True Spiritual Community book club discussions.
The Rise of Christianity
by Rodney Stark
Writing
from the perspective of social science while drawing upon historical
evidence and his insight into contemporary religion's appeal, Stark
looks for possible explanations for how the marginal Jesus Movement of
the first century became the dominant religious force in the western
world within a few centuries.

Becoming a True Spiritual Community
by Larry Crabb
In
today's frenetic society, people spend their lives essentially
disconnected from others, rushing through life content with brief
visits and casual conversations. But what if one had a spiritual
community of people who walked with and supported each other through
life's journey? Larry Crabb explores how God can heal disconnected
people and allow them to reconnect with each other and, ultimately,
with Him.
