Open Church, where all are welcomed: What book have you been reading recently that has challenged you and stirred your faith?

Greetings fellow Steemians.

Welcome to Open Church

Open Church is an initiative by Hive account@majes, Hive account@nextgen622 and the Christian trail community on Steemit. It aims to be a place where Christians on Steemit can hang out, encourage and build up one another, and reflect the love of Christ. The church is not a building, but is made up of people who have been transformed by God's grace.

Steemit is not all about money, but it's also a community of real people with real needs. So let us be a community of brothers and sisters that can Truly support one another with our real lives. Hope we can put aside the money element of Steemit and enter into authentic fellowship with one another.

Each week we will be putting up a new post with a new topic or theme for discussion. But feel free to come here just to fellowship and be a blessing to one another. Whatever denominational background your from, or if you're just curious about the Christian faith, everyone is welcome.

So feel free to share a link to your favourite worship song, share a word of encouragement, a prayer request, or introduce yourself. But please do not promote any posts here, or get into any arguments here.

Today's theme is: Besides the Bible, what book have you been reading recently that has challenged you and stirred your faith?

Personally, I have been reading The Irresistible Revolution By Shane Claiborne recently and it has challenged me immensely. I highly recommend this book.

Two other books that have significantly impacted me are:

• Radical by David Platt and
• Crazy Love by Francis Chan

If you want to grow in your faith, I highly recommend these 3 books. How about you? What book(s) are you reading at the moment that you would like to recommend to the Christian-trail community?

You can also join us for some more fellowship in the Christian-chat channel on Steemit chat.

Be Blessed.
