and

I just finished reading Ron Martoia’s new book, Static: Tune out the “Christian Noise” and Experience the Real Message of Jesus. And I have to say that it is really a good read, not only well written but in the midst of cultural din around concepts like the “Kingdom of God” and “Salvation” helps us hear again. Good on ya, Ron.

Peace, dwight

“In beholding God’s central purpose, I found my own purpose. In touching His passion, I found my own passion.” – Frank Viola

Frank Viola has been an innovative leader in the simple church/house church movement for some years. His recent book, God’s Ultimate Passion: Unveiling the Purpose Behind Everything introduces us to three tales that furnish us with a breathtaking glimpse into God’s highest passion.

The first part is entitled “A Forgotten Woman: The Bride of Christ.” Viola begins by pointing his readers to the “hidden romance” between the great lover (God) and God’s beloved. Part two is entitled “An Eternal Quest: The House of God.” And Part three is entitled “A New Species: The Body of Christ & The Family of God.” This section speaks of Christians being resident aliens.

Well done Frank, good on ya.

Peace, dwight
