seeking your opinion

[Malinda Spencer (Education)]

Good morning,

I received a promotional email about a Brant Baker resource.  He has written several books, http://www.amazon.com/Brant-D.-Baker/e/B001H9RVNW/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1 and they look interesting.  I was wondering if anyone has experience with these publications.  For example, Wine in the Bible and Famous Donkeys in the Bible.  And more!

 

Thanks in advance,

Malinda

Never heard of him.....will be interested to hear others views. 

While I am on, can anyone recommend a Bible study for our group that has been together for 30 years. We will do DVDs or printed...we need a good challenge.

Thanks, Sidney

Regarding the Bible study for people who’ve been together for 30 years, and would like a challenge, I recommend the Kerygma resources.  They won’t live long enough to finish them all.

 

Others will have good ideas also.

 

Who can tell of their experiences with Brant Baker resources?

I have and do use the books he has done in the Children's area.
      1995  Welcoming the Children
       2006  The Abingdon Children's Library  Vol. 1
       2007    "        "            "             "        Vol. 2
    Probably have others but don't see them right now.
Easy to match scripture and  special days of the year, they are very good.  Delia Halverson and Barbara Bruce are only 2 consultants and authors
who have highly recommended his work.  When he wrote the Sermon Library ones he was Senior
Pastor of First Presby Church in Mesa, AZ

Would love to hear about his work and books in the adult area.

Sidney,

 

I always push the Sisters series, especially the first one,” KNOWING GOD: Making God Making God the Main Thing in My Life” by Kimberly Reisman.  It is very good for a group who is already close or for a group to use to become close. 

 

Malinda, I haven’t heard of Brant Baker either.

I have not heard of Brand Baker either.

Within the Kerygma series a group here at the church where I am housed just finished the Jonah and Ruth, an odd couple study and really liked it!

John Ortberg is one of my most popular check-outs still. Also, anything by Ken Bailey (Presbyterian national treasure) who lived in the Middle East for 35 years.

If they are not too conservative  Living the Questions has several that go out a lot from here.
The Nooma's always get good discuusion.  There are 24 of them.

I saw these 2 books at Cokesbury last week at UMC Annual Conf.  but spent my money on DVDs
not books for our Media Center.  They did look good however.
