Description: This book is for anyone willing to gather in a coffee shop or sports bar--wherever friends can talk openly about issues that make a difference. In that setting we can take the writings of people who were with Jesus--ate meals beside him, trekked the dusty roads in his shadow, watched him live and die--and get a peek at the real man. This book is NOT for those who have answered all of life's questions or hope to change someone else's mind. But it's probably for you. So pull up a stool, grab your favorite drink, and look again (or for the first time) at this man Jesus. Endorsements: ""The Gathering Place Series is a creative response to the Spirit's invitation for Christians to move outside the walls with resources that reach and relate to people who might not darken the door of a church. The reflection/conversation approach respects each participant's view, while at the same time engaging them in topics that can enrich their lives and faith."" --Steve Harper, Emeritus Professor of Spiritual Formation and Wesley Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary, Florida Dunnam campus ""This series answers the need for small group lessons for real people who wonder about life's big issues. Designed for groups that include both seasoned Jesus followers and people just investigating a faith journey, The Gathering Place Series is fresh, real, and challenging. A key component of these lessons is the opportunity for study groups to do service together and to use that service to connect God's story to their own story. I heartily recommend this series."" --Kathryn Smith Martin, Pastor of Small Groups, Pearce Church of North Chili, New York About the Contributor(s): Daryl Smith is team leader of The Orlando Fellowship--an incarnational, missional-ministry community--and associate professor of Mentored Ministry and Christian Leadership at Asbury Theological Seminary, Florida Dunnam Campus.
