As you may or may not know, the next DTS study will be The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. (No, not the guy with the blue ox. That's Paul, his brother.) This will be a bit of a departure for us. Thus far we've studied Francis Schaeffer's How Should We Then Live, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Life Together, C.S. Lewis' The Weight of Glory and Dorothy Sayers' The Mind of the Maker. Unlike these, The Pilgrim's Progress is not strictly a theological work. It is a story, an allegory of the Christian life. Though we are bound to have good discussion and some deep questions, my hope is that this will give us an opportunity to share our own journeys and spur one another on. That is my prayer.
If you'd like to join us, we will have our first meeting on Thursday, October 18 at 7p.m. in the cafe upstairs at New Life. From that point we may well meet in coffee shops and other places in the community. Notices of a change in location will be emailed or posted here.
We have a great deal on the book for this series--$4, half off the retail price. I encourage you to order the version the rest of the group is using so that we can literally be on the same page in our discussions. If you'd like to order a copy, let me know.

This is a great book! I've used it with my kids because of its concreteness and yet the spiritual depth challenges me powerfully. Should be a transformative group experience!
