From the Garden to the City

From the Garden to the City:
The Redeeming and Corrupting Power of Technology
By John Dyer (Kregel)
A 2012 Outreach Resource of the Year

“This is a creative, unpredictable, and surprisingly moving introduction to thinking as Christians about technology—a realm of culture that shapes both church and society in profound ways, yet is almost always simply taken for granted in our churches. With John Dyer’s help, you will never see either a shovel or a smartphone the same way again—and this book guides us toward making wise choices about technology in our churches, our families and our ministries. It is the ideal ‘first book’ on a topic that deserves much more Christian reflection and attention.” —Andy Crouch, from the March/April 2012 issue of Outreach magazine

Nicole Martin: A Different Kind of Leadership

When I go to a great restaurant and it’s really good, no one ever has to tell me, “Could you let other people know?” I cannot wait to tell other people, first of all, that I've been, and second of all, how good the food is. I think we have lived our Christian lives on the periphery of God's grace and goodness and favor for so long that we don't know how good the food is for ourselves.
