Hey everyone
I was looking around trying to find a place to discuss religion, and came on this site. I am a Christian, but realize the many negative connotations that are associated with the religion. I want to be a true follower of Jesus, and live my life like He did, befriending the socially outcast, meeting people's needs (physical, emotional, spiritual), and to love like He did. Whenever I read through the Gospels, I am amazed at the love Jesus had for people, regardless of what others thought.
I am also a youth pastor at a small church in northern Minnesota. I am hoping to get some insights into how people view christianity and other religions, and hope that i can incorporate what i learn into my work at the church.
Book Suggestions:
Blue Like Jazz: Non Religious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality by Donald Miller
The Cross and the Lotus by Ravi Zacharias
Jesus, Among other Gods by Ravi Zacharias
Works by C.S. Lewis
