A
uthor and pastor Tim Chester has written several books that explore Christians in the light of community. A few that are particularly noteworthy include*:
- Total Church — This book, reprinted by Re:Lit for American audiences, argues that the gospel is word-centered and mission-centered and is placed in the context of community. Very helpful for unwrapping mission and church.
- The Busy Christian’s Guide to Busyness — In this book Chester looks beneath the surface of our reasons for our busyness to see what really drives us at the end of the day.
- You Can Change (coming soon to U.S.) — Here Chester seeks how we can overcome sinful behaviour and negative emotions through the liberating grace of God.
Today we would like to point you to Chester’s blog, Reformed Spirituality and Missional Church, which has been of immense help to us in the past weeks. His latest post, Making Community Work: Taking the initiative to resolve conflict, is the first in a four-part series that looks at how a Christ-centered community should look and act. So hop on over and see what he has to say!
