This week’s book review is on Bill Hybel’s “Holy Discontent: Fueling the Personal Fire That Ignites Personal Vision”. This book, like many others in the genre, is a call to action. It is a reminder that God intends for us to be acting on His behalf in the world to make it closer to what He intended it to be. Hybels has summarized the stories of a few people that he has met over the years into his view of what pushes people past the boundary of recognizing the brokenness and ACTING ON that recognition to resolve the problem. Thus the title “Holy Discontent”.
Hybels states that “a bad day lived from the energy of your holy discontent is far better that the best day lived anywhere else.” We are called through Christ to engage our broken world, and with God’s help, take action. This book can help you do that or if you’re already doing it, this book will provide a great source of encouragement to keep doing it. Enjoy. The book is available in the Lbrary under classification 248.4 – Christian Experience, Practice & Life.

The next Alpha Course Guest night is planned for Wednesday 8th September 2010. Alpha offers a great introduction to the Christianity and also an opportunity for established Christians to go back to basics.  Please think about you can invite to the guest night and be prepared to come along with them. Many of our current members were introduced to the Gospel through an Alpha course. Imagine who you could help bring to Christ through a simple invitation! We are also looking for group leaders and helpers; if this is you please contact li May/Adrian Chee or Pastor Keith asap. We are now receiving registrations for the Guest night for anyone who would like to attend – see the Alpha table after the service.
