Sometimes you come across a blog series and you are just in awe of it. So obvious. So true. Wish I had written it. Here’s a current series by Craig Groeschel of Lifechurch.tv.
Craig speaks from 20+ years of experience as a pastor about something that is hard on a most of us, friendships.
If you’ve ever wanted to pull the curtain back and see one of the many stresses that I deal with, take a few minutes to read Craig’s posts.
I know that we try hard at Romeo to create great videos. And there are a few churches we would love to be like. Lifechurch.tv is right up there on that list. What they do is beyond cutting edge for a church, they flatout do stuff that is cutting edge everywhere.
I had the pleasure of reading Craig’s latest book. This one is about intimate relationships and it may be the best book on dating and marriage I’ve ever read. Check that, since it was actually good it was the second book I ever finished on dating and marriage.
Here’s an excerpt of my review for YMX.
This is how many books on marriage are marketed to the reader–the author takes the position as a expert guiding the reader through several easy steps to relational bliss. If the reader will merely submit to the author’s successful plan, the reader’s marriage and in turn, life will be much easier. To further the stereotype, the covers of these books often depict a happily married couple who look as though they’ve never had an argument as they look longingly in to one another’s eyes sporting smiles befitting a Cialis commercial. Fortunately, Craig Groeschel, in his book Going All the Way: Preparing for a Marriage that Goes the Distance, takes a refreshingly realistic angle on marriage. Craig’s style flies in the face of the typical, resulting in a page turning book on relationships. That’s right–a book on relationships actually worth reading! Read the rest…
