I read “Organic Community” by Joseph Myers again for the 3rd time and it has triggered hundreds of thoughts once again. Who has read this book and what are your learnings?

I’ve been preparing to teach an online course for Rockbridge Seminary starting January 1st and have been finishing up my reading.

I’d go one further than that to say it is an even greater read for those who are questioning the [...]

Ok…so maybe it is not a complete review, but I’ve started reading The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne. WOW…this guy is rolling.
