| Practicing Discernment Together, Finding God's Way Forward in Decision Making (Barclay Press, 2007) is a collaborative endeavor of Lon Fendall, Jan Wood and Bruce Bishop. It is a practical guide to helping any leader or group move past dividing into winners and loser and move into hearing God's voice and following God's directions. It weaves biblical understandings with practical skills. In the words of Victoria Curtiss, a Presbyterian pastor and church consultant, "From case studies to checklists, its tools build confidence to venture into the wondrous arena of being led by God's Spirit together." |  |
| Soaring in the Spirit, Rediscovering Mystery in the Christian Life (Paternoster, 2007) by Charles (Chuck) Conniry, Jr. is about experiencing the presence of Christ in the everyday moments. It both points the way to the vital life of partnership with God, but it also helps folks unhook from the theologies and habits that have kept Christians from fully understanding this joy. |  |
Both Practicing Discernment Together and Soaring in the Spirit will be texts participants will receive at the Institute.
