RECOMMENDED BOOKS
Available at Seeds Bookstore. Coming soon - online bookstore.
- Connecting by Larry Crabb – A biblical approach to healing deep wounds of the soul that centers around building intimate, healing mini-communities in our lives and churches.
- Being the Body by Charles Colson – To the question, “What is the church and what is its relevance to contemporary culture at large?” this book answers with a message that inspires us to rise above the stunted “Jesus and me” faith to a nobler view of something bigger than ourselves—the glorious, holy vision for which God created the church.
- The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel – The author investigates the doubts of the heart that threaten faith. Eight major topics are addressed including doubt, the problem of pain, and the existence of evil.
- Making Room for Life by Randy Frazee – This thought provoking book exposes the chaos and pressure of “normal” living and points toward a better life where community and church are authentic, rich, and as close as the neighbors on your street.
- Life Together by Dietrich Bonhoeffer – This story of a unique fellowship in an underground seminary during the Nazi years reads like one of the apostle Paul’s letters. It gives practical advice on how life together in Christ can be sustained in families and groups. The role of personal prayer, worship in common, everyday work, and Christian service is treated in simple words.
