I am grateful for Tim Brister and the opportunity to be a part of the Roots Reading Initiative this past November and December. I am excited about round 2! The second installment [Jan/Feb 2012] of the Roots Reading Initiative starts this week! The theme for this installment is “The Outworking of the Gospel” with a focus of deepening our understand of and experience in the gospel of Jesus Christ, both individually and corporately. With each week’s reading schedule, a discussion guide is made available (on Thursdays usually) for personal application and/or discipling leaders in your own context. At the end of each month, we are compiling these discussion questions into a book-length study guide that you can download for future use. The study materials and reading schedule for this installment are:
