Next two books

For those of you who are interested in knowing ahead of time which books we'll be reading, the following are the next two:

Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Living in the Freedom of the Spirit by Tom Marshall

Both of these are available through amazon.com or a local bookstore. Since the book we're reading now is so short (In the Name of Jesus), you'll need to get Bonhoeffer's book soon, if you want to read it. We'll be starting his book on August 26.

In an earlier posting (see the blog) I told you a bit about Bonhoeffer's book which is five chapters long and is about Christian life together.

Marshall's book will take much longer because it has 25 chapters. Later I'll determine how much we'll read per week...to give you an idea of what the book is like, it's five sections are about the following:
  • The mind
  • The emotions
  • The will
  • Freedom to be ourselves
  • Living out of the spirit

Loren Cunningham, founder of YWAM, says of him: "Tom Marshall was a giant in the Christian world through his teaching which embraced all cultures. He made great truths simple so that we could understand and apply them."

Happy reading!
