Review of Stories That Feed Your Soul-Tony Campolo

Excellent source for up-to-date illustrations for sermons, lessons or even conversations.  Compelling and thought provoking stories that get to the heart of the current issues facing churches and the postmodern world in which we live.  I highly recommend reading and using this book and taking the challenge issued at the end of the book.

David Gibson Quote

"But historians of religion like to say that Christianity was born in the Middle East as a religion, move to Greece and became a philosophy, journeyed to Rome and became a legal system, spread throughout Europe as a culture-and when it migrated to American, Christianity became big business."-David Gibson originally published May 2005 Fortune Magazine "Copyright Crusades".  Cited in "The Informed Argument" p. 222 (7th Ed. 2007, Thompson Wadsworth) Robert K. Miller.
