Resources I've collected

• James Choung's "Big Story" Diagram - Choung created a drawing (simple enough to fit on a napkin) that communicates the whole of Jesus' message or what Choung calls the Big Story.
  I wrote up a friendly revision; contains instructions for drawing the diagram, and an accompanying script
  
  
• Tim Keller's "Reasons for God" lecture - Dr. Keller gave a lecture tour on the publication of his book, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism. His lecture succinctly distills the heart of the matter!
  This is a summary sheet with audio and video links.
  
  
• excerpts from Frank Laubach's Letters by a Modern Mystic - Dr. Laubach visited 103 countries -- perhaps the most traveled man of his time -- as he tirelessly worked for literacy. In 1930, at age 45, he resolved to live in "continuous inner conversation with God" -- what he called The Ultimate Experiment. Excerpts chosen by Richard Foster.
  
  
• The Anabaptist Vision by Harold S. Bender - a classic essay defining the spirit and purposes of the original Anabaptists in the 16th century:
  
  discipleship - Christianity is following Jesus in everyday life;
  church - believers commit to each other as well as to Christ;
  love and nonresistance - followers of Jesus reject involvement in violence and warfare.
  Originally given as the presidential address to the American Society of Church History in 1943, this Anabaptist Vision became "a slogan and a gentle battle-cry for a whole generation of Mennonites."
