Need help becoming a more authentic group?

New Way Ministries and Larry Crabb spend a great deal of time pondering our relational God and as image bearers how we might also relate to Him and others. Check out their website for books, cds, video series and conferences. I know that the Soul Care Experience has been very valuable to groups and churches.
I have found his lectures on gender specifically helpful as we desire to be more of who we were created to be, not simply neuter, but distinctly as men and women with unique designs and callings. Inside Out and the workbook available, address deep longings and the wrong strategies we often employ. His 66 Love Letters, to be released in March 2010, is a wonderful book which walks you through the 66 books of the Bible. It is in a dialogue form and is rich. It will definitely be a keeper. Shattered Dreams and Safest Place on Earth, now retitled Becoming a True Spiritual Community, are books that I recommend to folks who have survived crushing times and wonder where God is in it all. There are few of us, if any, to whom that does not apply.
