Pastor Cook is hosting a study group.
We will be using the book, “Everybody’s Normal Till You Get To Know Them.”
The author, John Ortberg, with winsome humor and a fondness for well-spun stories, pops the myth of normalcy and hands us the keys to creating and sustaining relationships. “God’s dream for community encompasses the redemption of all spheres of life,” he says. Who doesn’t want like to be liked, to be wanted, to have solid, satisfying friendships! Ortberg shows what such relationships are made of, revealing the benefits of authenticity―what it means to live with an “unveiled face,” as the Bible puts it. He encourages us to trade the stones it’s so easy to cast at others for acceptance. He opens our eyes and heart to empathy, the art of reading people. Ortberg takes us through the ins and outs of conflict, forgiveness, confrontation, inclusion, and gratitude.
