Discipleship Class, - With, - Bud Vredenburg in, Room 1E.
"When Christians Get It Wrong", by Adam Hamilton
Adam Hamilton's books on faith and human relationships are warm, loving, insightful, precise, and caring.  In this book,  he writes about how Christians sometimes get it wrong  missing the point of God's love and the message and life of Jesus  while trying to uphold what they believe to be the "rules of the faith".  The author sets out to address the issues that seem to drive young people away from the church.  "Most people who read this book won't agree with everything written in it.  But it definitely provides a great starting point for some lively conversations about theology, doctrine and most importantly the love of God."

Class facilitator, Bud Vredenburg, invites you to join this group if you are interested in wrestling with faith, organized religion, and Christianity.  The book is a simple read but covers many hard topics with grace.  Read it by yourself, discuss it with each other and make you own conclusions…… are we getting it wrong?
