Reflections on a "Conversation with Steve Garber" and the Summit on Vocation: Your Work Matters to God

Well, friends, I wrote a long and (I hope) interesting reflection on the "evening with Steve Garber" conversation from Friday night, and the Living Word Community Church Summit on Vocation and Work.  Along the way, I note some books, old and new, and give the big picture of Steve's journey, how we here so resonate with his vision and style, and then segue into a reminder of our role in the upcoming Jubilee 2011 conference in Pittsburgh.  Since it's a bit long, I posted it as the monthly column for February.  I really, really hope you take a few minutes to read it.

Here is how it starts, with a sincere word of gratitude for prayers and supportive friends.  We have been touched by the many prayers offered on our behalf.  So, to start:

Thanks to those who read my face book plea a few days ago to pray for our staff, our families, and the conversation we were hosting on Friday with Steve Garber, author of Fabric of Faithfulness: Weaving Together Belief and Behavior (IVP; $16.00.)  (See my hefty review of it here.) It means a lot that so many folks---including those who order books from us on line, even though we've never met---support our ministry, and call upon God to bless and sustain us.  There is some pain and hardship on this end---where isn't there?---and we are glad that friends care.  We are blessed.

The Garber event hosted at Living Word Community Church was fabulous...

Here are just a few of the book covers of titles I mention at the longer review.  There's a good discount deal over there, too, so check it out.  And pass it on.  Thanks for caring.

As a Brit, I feel I should point out that over here chatting someone up (as in the US?) tends to happen in bars and rarely covers the sort of topics you did ;o)

Other than that I'm sad to have been so far away from such a great event! Thanks for the write-up.

Thanks so much, Byron. I had a great time and got a crap-ton out it. :)
