The Current Book

Dear LLC Pastors,
Whether you get a copy of it at the library, buy it Amazon.com or at The Book Parlor- (509-328-6527, lutheranbooks@msn.com) Douglas Coupland's "Life After God" is a good and quick read.
It is intentionally different from all the other books we have read. It is a novel of sorts, uncomfortable to read at times, that is helpful in opening your heart to issues of Americans age 40 and under. Its first person voice and candidness remind me a bit of JD Salinger's, "The Catcher in the Rye." "Life After God" is the story of an unsettled, lost person.
Sometimes we are so often deeply embedded in the "Christian World" that we forget that the "Kingdom of God" is all about seeking out the lost.
If we are going to be leaders of communities who are seeking to reach the lost for Christ, and love hurting and broken people- it will serve us well to read what they are writing. If we want to bring them home, to a life lived with God, we have to go where they are.
Read this book- its good for you. The pages are short- there are lots of pictures and it really goes fast.
Have a great day,
Corey
