Live Sent

I am a part of the Ooze Viral Bloggers group and I recently received a copy of Live Sent - you are a letter by Jason C. Dukes to read and blog about.



I just finished reading it and I have to admit that this book was more challenging than I expected. I have spent all of my life in and around the church and I have to admit for most of that time I would have agreed with the statement, The church is not a place or an event. She is a who. The church is people. but didn't live or lead like I believed it. The church has most often been the place I worked or the place we attended on Sunday. The big challenge of this book is to live like we are the church, whether we are gathered together or living and working in the world around us.
Sunday mornings can no longer be viewed at just "fueling stations", they must be thought of as Post Offices, gathering and sorting mail in order to send out letters. This statement from chapter 2 sums it up for me.

This author could have benefited from a better editor, but Live Sent is still worth reading.
