Stanley J. Grenz

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2000

Importance of Community - it is written.
Though THEOLOGY brings to mind "difficult to understand at best," Grenz is very good at explaining his text. I am enjoying this book and it has brought to my conscious mind thoughts and truths that have hovered in my subconscious for some time.

Creating Community: Five Keys to Building a Small Group Culture

13 reviews
Andy Stanley, Bill Willits

Multnomah Books, 2004

Creating Community
This book is not, perhaps, for the standard layman, but wonderful for anyone who wants to understand better in inner workings of their church and why some programs fail and others succeed. The questions at the end of each chapter are very thought provoking. The book is an easy read, but very powerful.

One of the seminal works on the evolution of national consciousness
Anderson's masterful work about the development of national consciousness should be read and treasured by anyone interested in modern politics, political theory, or societal development. Bringing together an impressive array of international and polyglot sources, it is one of the few books that gives a global account of the phenomenon of nationalism and modern nation-building while disabusing ...

Foundations of Nursing in the Community - Text with Real World Community Health Nursing Package

2 reviews
Marcia Stanhope, Patty J. Hale

Mosby, 2005

Average nursing textbook
This textbook seems to be on par with the other texts I have had to purchase for nursing school. Nothing incredibly wonderful in terms of organization or content. Seems repetitive in places. Relatively well written in terms of syntax and vocabulary choice. I was able to read through the chapters without having to stop and disseminate what the authors were trying to say, so that was definitely ...

A must read for those working to create learning communities
This book was recommended to me by a colleague who has years of experience in cultivating learning collaboratives. It is stunningly insightful and practical, and the authors speak from observation and experience spanning a wide range of organizations and circumstances. It really is a "how to think about this issue" and "how to make it happen successfully" manual. Highly recommend it.

For those grappling with the need to understand and talk about how people come together and interact beyond the org. chart, this book has a lot to offer.

A Community Called Atonement (Living Theology)

5 reviews
Scot McKnight

Abingdon Press, 2007

Brilliant Overview of the Atonement
Scot McKnight is slowly finding his way to the top of reading lists for many interested in theology, and rightly so [he is quickly gaining ground on my reading list]. "A Community Called Atonement" is both a sweeping overview of the divergent theories of atonement, and a proposal for bringing the divergent views of atonement under a single umbrella of Christ's redeeming work in the world to ...

Joseph R. Myers

Baker Books, 2007

Going Green in Ministry
You know a book is going to be good when you find yourself underlining stuff in the forward. After reading "Search to Belong" and "Organic Community," I think I would be willing to plop down money for just about anything that Joseph Myers writes. Like most of my favorite authors, he drives me crazy. I tried really hard to not like him. I wanted to brand him as anti-small groups. I tried to zoom ...
