“It’s funny how little it takes to show people they matter and what a difference it makes in inviting them into meaningful community. Kindness, it turns out, is powerfully disarming.” |
|
| We've collected a list of over 50 books that seek this type of community and kindness that John Pavlovitz is calling for. These books are great as group studies or as your bedside table book. We're featuring two of these books below, and you can find additional books by clicking the button at the bottom. |

John Pavlovitz shares moving personal stories, his careful observations as a pastor, and his understanding of the ancient stories of Jesus to set the table for a new, positive, more loving conversation on these and other important matters of faith.
This new edition includes a small-group study guide complete with ideas for exploring A Bigger Table in a congregation-wide sermon series and program along with a new foreword by Jacqui Lewis and new afterword by the author to explore the challenges of living out the bigger table when voices of hate and exclusion seem stronger and louder than ever. |

David Gushee offers a new way forward for disillusioned post-evangelicals by first analyzing what went wrong with U.S. white evangelicalism, and then proposing new ways of Christian believing, belonging, and behaving, helping post-evangelicals from where they are to a living relationship with Christ and an intellectually cogent and morally robust post-evangelical faith.
After Evangelicalism shows that it is possible to follow Jesus out of evangelical Christianity, and more than that, it's necessary. |
