"The Tangible Kingdom" - A New Opportunity for All of Us

Over the past couple of weeks, I have journeyed through Eat This Book by Eugene Peterson and some of you walked this journey with me.  This time, I'd like for us to take a journey together.  This is a new thing for me and for our church, but my hope is that in this journey together, we find a new way to study and learn from one another.  Some of you let me know that you wanted enough time to pick up my next book, so here you go.

NEXT MONDAY (one week from today), I'm going to start another book read and I want to invite all of you into this read with me.  I will be reading "The Tangible Kingdom" by Hugh Halter and Matt Smay.  They are the guys that produced the small video on the left of the blog under "Why We Do What We Do."  I was so taken by the video that I went out and got the book.  It's new and I haven't opened it yet, but I'm going to start blogging about the read next Monday and I wanted to invite you into the online journey.  You can buy the book through my blog and it should be here in time to start or you can try to pick one up at the bookstore.  I had a little difficulty locating the book around here, but eventually found one copy at Borders.  Here is a link to get a taste of the book.

I am fascinating by the topic of the Church being the incarnation-al presence of Jesus in our neighborhoods, in our workplaces and in our fun places.  The Springs has been planted on the possibility of this actually happening in western League City.  I cannot wait to wade through the pages of the journey of these two pastors from Colorado, who shepherd a really cool community there called Adullam.

Take a look, by the book and let's go on a little ride together.  I've included a survey this week in the upper left corner, so take a moment and let me know if you are going to journey with us...and how.  Thanks.
