A couple of weeks ago I mentioned I was taking part in this group blogging project about the book, Servolution by Dino Rizzo. First off, I want to say, what an amazing book! It's exactly what I need right now. It's easy to read, clear, concise and to the point, but it's the content that really got my attention. Oh, and today was my day, where I wrote a bit about chapter 14 and the importance of community and serving with others.
For the past few months I've been looking for a way to get more involved in my church, but I've been unsure of the path to take. I expressed an interest in joining the board (elders), but they are in a sort of transition in the way the board is doing things and the way membership works so that will have to wait awhile. I play bass twice a month, but that isn't enough. They are also putting together a building team to do work on the church building as they are hoping to get some building maintenance done this summer.
I feel the need something more.
Then along comes this amazing book, and instantly I know what I need to do, serve. So now that I know what I need to do, I need to figure out how I'm going to go about doing it.
I'm going to read through the book again and see if I can glean some more information from it and figure out what I want to do. I'm really excited to get out there and start a servolution. And if you haven't read it yet, please hit up your local Christian bookstore and get a copy and read it. Then let me know what you think. :)
Welcome!
A Christian is a Christian, be they right, left, evangelical, emergent or conservative. If you believe that Christ died for your sins and is the Son of God, then His Will will work through you and the rest will come naturally. And isn't that all that really matters in the end? These are just my views from where I sit wherever it is in the spectrum of Christianity that I am. I wrote a little blurb here explaining a little more.

Good job man! I am pretty impressed. It must feel good to be 'published' and get exposure at the same time.
Keep us posted on how your servolution comes along.
I LOVED Servolution, read it a few months back
