Check Out This Book

It has been a slow start to blogging for me this year... which means I am already failing at one of my New Year's "Resolutions". But, I will start by plugging a book that I highly recommend. I have had the privilege of exchanging emails with the author, then had the opportunity to meet and spend some time with him when I was in Cincinnati this past summer.

Take some time to read "What Is Church?" by Mike Bishop in the coming weeks!

"What is Church? Shouldn’t we know the answer to that question? Yet there are people all around the world who are wondering if church should be something more than what we have experienced. Perhaps Jesus had something different in mind from our typical answers to the question, “What is church?” There are many books being written about why the church should be different or how it should be changed, but where are the voices who have lived this transition? For the past seven years, Mike Bishop and his friends have been living change among small communities of faith. Their story is not about the next great North American church movement, but rather the simple-and revolutionary-discovery of God’s Kingdom in a changing world." (from Publisher's Website)

Mike Bishop is a husband, father of three, thinker, trying-to-be-apprentice-of-Jesus, ecclesial trouble-maker, and wanna-be engineer. His wife Amber and family have spent the past seven years in South Florida with a rag-tag community of saints called The Well. Mike’s passion is to see normal people fall in love with Jesus and be able to realize their kingdom-born dreams. His blog, other writings, and contact information can be found at www.whatischurch.com.
