Seldom FamiliarXulon Press, 2007 - 184 էջ Today's generation finds itself in an interesting place in human history as we are a people consumed with the busyness of what life offers us, but at the same time insanely bored with the monotonous rut we find ourselves in. Seldom Familiar awakens the reader from a survival mentality and deliberately guides them through a Biblical path where the result is true life. For too long the theme of Christianity has been to walk the tightrope of our faith and do everything in our power to stay on the rope. In the process of this, the church has created fearful survivors when Jesus' commands were to obviously live. This book examines life outside of the proverbial box should the individual dare to venture away from their man-made habitats. Seldom Familiar is a great read for all generations filled with insight, humor, and a refreshing look at our call to live. Rob Duford is the founding pastor of Orlando North Community Church (www.OrlandoNorth.com). He and a team of visionaries established the church with a passion to live authentic Christian lives together in a community starving for a real encounter with Christ. Rob and his amazing wife Melanie have been married for eleven years. The prize of their marriage is their two beautiful children, Haley and Caeden. Rob graduated from Lee University in 1996 and earned his M.B.A. with an emphasis in non-profit organizations from Regent University in 2001. There's enormous tension in the home, however, as Rob is an avid University of Michigan fan and Melanie is a longtime Florida Gator fan. Please pray for Rob as he mentors his children in the true way of college athletics which is to bleed maize and blue. |
