Resources

Due to the influx of great discussion today in our meeting, I've felt compelled to recommend some great resources to help us. You are not being forced to purchase these books, but I do highly recommend them.

The first book is called "The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment." Since we talked about difficult decision making today, I felt like this is one resource I ought to recommend to us...since we do/will make difficult decisions in our life. We need to learn to be discerning so that we can be more effective in serving God in this life.


The second book is a recent bestseller. It is called "The Reason for God" by Tim Keller. It is a response to all the atheistic literature that recently came out. He wrote it as a "modern day 'Mere Christianity,'" which means at least one of us will be interested in it. If you want to check out a little of it, go to youtube and do a video search for "tim keller;" he gave a series of talks all around the U.S., presenting tidbits of his book. Get this book. It sounds amazing.

Screwtape, part III

This week the reading is chapters 7-9. The chapters are short and sweet, but the content is not. Lots of fun stuff we get to talk over; we might even get to another discussion of freewill, but we don't choose what we want to talk about :] Please please please mark up your books with underlining and questions in the margins; not only will it help you pick out information more quickly, but you are actually making your book heavier by writing in it! See you guys soon!
