Vertical Church Book and CD

Wanted to let you know that a new release has come through that has caught my eye and ear. It is James MacDonald's new book -VERTICAL CHURCH. Here are a few zingers from the book:

Church was never meant to be safe.

Or Comfortable.

Or predictable.

God isn't any of those things.

Church is supposed to arrest our pride.

Church is meant to crush our selfishness.

Church is created to carry our heartache and comfort our affliction.

Church is where we find community, express compassion and engage in mission.

There is a new worship cd, LIVE WORSHIP FROM VERTICAL CHURCH, that is really great and includes  seriously wonderful spirit lead worship.

Both book and CD are available at Olivet Book and Gift - RIGHT NOW!

New Product at Olivet

A recent trip to the Chicago Gift Mart resulted in some great new products. I'm especially excited about some beautiful hand carved walking sticks created by SACRED STICKS out of Indiana.  I have a variety of 4 different 5 ft. walking sticks created from different woods. One particular stick is shaped like a Shepherd's Hook (my favorite). Stop by the store and check out these fabulous tools that will make any walk in the woods even a bigger treat than usual. WHAT A COOL GIFT RIGHT (maybe for you!)
