I found a neat study guide online, so I printed off a copy and will make some available at the church if anyone is interested. It gives a little more background information and provides some food for thought as you read through the text. Let me know if you like it.

I know many of you are just finishing up our last book, but I wanted to go ahead and post for those who have moved along to our April book, THE BLUE SWEATER. This is a bit different than the other books that we have read, but I still find it interesting to read different perspectives on the world’s economy and individuals’ answers to poverty. The author is a very strong personality, and I love to read her thoughts vs. her actions when dealing with people of differing cultures and backgrounds. Has anyone else had experience with these types of organizations that provide loans for people in impoverished areas? I find it fascinating.

If you got a late start or if you still have comments to make on my or other posts, keep blogging even though we are well into a new month. Your input is appreciated.

I know that some of you got a late start on Light Force (even I had a hard time trying to find some extra copies online), but I hope that it has been a worthwhile read. Many of the people in the book are those that I have met and even befriended in my trips overseas. I have enjoyed the posts as well as the conversations that I have had with a number of you concerning the challenges of life as a Palestinian Christian. No matter what your political or theological viewpoints, I would ask that you continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in the West Bank. They are the forgotten ones and the recipients of much of the persecution as they are caught in the crossfire of politics. May God continue to strengthen them as they boldly witness in the land of their forefathers.
