| The quest for a peaceful and just world means responding with life energy to make it possible. Disciples and seekers need to understand the scripture story and how it affected those in the past to critically examine how the story affects people today. This book encourages small-group study and discussion with the following four topics: Faith and Politics, Discipleship and Possessions, Welcoming the Stranger, and A Life Worth Living. Each unit gives a foundational background on scripture and tradition with supporting experiences and discussion questions to stimulate exploration. Various authors contributed their expertise, including John Atkinson, Andrew Bolton, Charmaine Chvala-Smith, Margo Frizzell, Matthew Frizzell, Jeri Lauren Lambert, Brad Martell, Lori Martell, Shandra Newcom-Wolsey, Kelly Phipps, and Paige Stanfield-Myers. |
