There’s a new book just released that I want to recommend to you. It’s entitled “Generation Rising: A future with hope for the United Methodist Church.”
It is a book written by 12 Generation-X United Methodists, many whom I have read or interacted with via blogs, facebook, 7 villages, even one of them in my own home. It is edited by Andrew Thompson, who blogs at Gen-X Rising. Check him out.
It is my hope that this book will help give fresh theological insights into what it means to BE the church. If ever you’ve had a difficult time understanding those of us who are Gen-Xers, I want to encourage you to read this book.
For a limited time, it is being offered free as an electronic download through the Amazon Kindle store. You can access it by clicking HERE.
You don’t need to own a Kindle to get the free book. Amazon has a free app for Macs or PCs to read Kindle books right on your computer. Click on the link above and you’ll see links for these apps in the lower right hand corner of the Amazon window in your browser.
I plan on blogging my way through the book with points I find interesting and pertinent. I’d love to hear what you have to say too, so feel free to chime in on the conversation. Happy reading! ~ajb

Ok, OK. My first issue was deciding to open an acct. with Amazon. Then came decisions about this and that,
but here i am, having taken advantage of the free download of the book.
Will we be connecting through your website, Facebook, or (somehow) both? Remember, i am NOT a Gen-X person; i’m one of those Boomers….
Shalom!

Hi Dave, I was thinking of on the blog, but am open to other ways of discussing it. We could pretend to be on 7villages again. Then again, maybe not. ;o)
