Books / Readings, Change!?!, Everything Must Change (McLaren)
New Blog Page on McLaren’s Book – Revised
Hi everyone!
In November, I sent out a post asking if you would be interested in blogging on Brian McLaren’s new book, Everything Must Change: Jesus, Global Crisis, and a Revolution of Hope. Many of you have responded in a positive way. So, a new page is being added to this site just for blogging on this book. First, you’ll see the heading for this new page at the top menu bar. Secondly, I attempted to create a new page that the link above goes to. The new page doesn’t allow us to blog, like the home page does. It only allows us to “Reply” to the original post. So, I’ve contact my web designer to create a new page that will allow us to blog in a better fashion (with headlines, etc.) This will be up and running in about a week.
I’ve organized a system for reading to help keep us on the “same page” so-to-speak (or at least the same section of the book). I’m looking forward to being in Brian’s Deep Shift conference in San Diego (March). Reading this book with you will be a helpful way of preparing. It will also be a very helpful way of processing the information with each other.
Meanwhile, if you are reading the book and have some comments to make, please reply to this current page. The comments will be transferred over to the new page when its completed.
Also, if this reading schedule doesn’t match-up with your schedule, don’t worry about it! Please contribute to the conversation. The more who respond, the more challenging, inspirational and fun this venture will be!!!
If this book blogging goes well, we’ll have to try another one afterwards!
Blessings to you,
Jeff

THANKS Jeff! For all the work you have done on this one! I really appreciate all that you are doing to get the conversations flowing! I am looking forward to the discussion in January!
Merry Christmas to you and to all!
THIS LOOKS GREAT TO ME. I ALSO JUST SIGNED UP WITH SOJOURNERS TO READ WALLIS’ NEW BOOK COMING OUT SOON AND COMMENT ON THAT. IF IT IS GOOD I WILL LET YOU KNOW!
“Dear SojoPulsers,
We think you’re special.
So special, in fact, that we’re giving you an exclusive sneak peek at the next big thing at Sojourners, and we want your input.
In January 2008, we’ll release Jim Wallis’ latest book and campaign: The Great Awakening. The last time we launched a book, you helped put it on The New York Times bestsellers list – allowing us to raise an alternative voice of peace and justice to an audience otherwise outside of our reach.
Here are a few ways you can help us prepare to do it again:
1. Tell us how God’s Politics changed the conversation for you and your world.
2. Join a group to test The Great Awakening Web site.
3. Join an online community to spread the word about The Great Awakening on other blogs or to write reviews. [We?ll give you exclusive access to read the first three chapters online!]
Click below to sign up and select how you’d like to help. We’ll be back in touch with you soon.
Blessings for the coming new year,
Deanna Murshed
