JOIN US FOR OUR ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL COURSE FEATURING On God's Side: What Religion Forgets and Politics Hasn't Learned about Serving the Common Good by Jim Wallis
“Bestselling author, public theologian, and leading Christian activist Jim Wallis speaks directly into our current context, revealing the spiritual compass we need to effect lasting change in our society. He explains how the good news of Jesus transforms not only our individual lives but also our public lives. Jesus's gospel of the kingdom of God helps us recover a personal and social commitment to the common good and shows us--in concrete ways--how to be both personally responsible and socially just. Working together, we can reshape our churches, society, politics, and economy.
In the midst of contentious national debates on gun control, immigration, budget deficits, and more, this book moves the conversations beyond current media and political warfare to bring together a divided country. Wallis explores how Jesus's agenda can serve the common good, what it takes to sustain a lifelong commitment to social justice, and how reading the Bible as well as the culture can shape our lives for genuine transformation.” Amazon
We meet in the church library on Sundays after coffee hour (11:30am - 12:30pm) starting September 15 through December 22. We buy our own books. Cost for a used copy of this book is around $6, including shipping at Amazon
