Everybody's Normal 'Til You Get to Know Them by: John Ortberg Retail Price: $18.99 Since Christians often talk about community as one of their highest ideals it is shocking when they realize that, as Henri Nouwen insightfully noted, "Community is the place where the person you least want to live with always lives." Fortunately, John Ortberg shares our passion for community and is able to teach us how to live with and love one another. With the insight of a counselor and the heart of a pastor, Ortberg has written one of the best contemporary considerations of community. |

Loving
God Up Close: Rekindling Your Relationship with the Holy Spirit By Calvin Miller / Time Warner Book Group Who is the Holy Spirit? How do Christians track His comings and goings? And how can they realize His presence in their lives? In this book, Calvin Miller reminds believers of the power of the Holy Spirit and explores the six symbols of His presence: the cleansing wind; the purging fire; the dove (the descending presence); the gift of communication; the refreshing wine; and the counselor. While many have experienced one or more of the defining presences, many also disagree as to their authenticity. Now, in this insightful book, Miller seeks to relieve some of the mystery surrounding the Holy Spirit and encourages readers to simply make use of his loving guidance. |
