Anticipating the Journey

One of the highlights that I await at this year's North American Convention is getting my hands on Patrick Nachtigall's new book that will be released. Mosaic: A Journey Across the Church of God is major project that comes as the result of funding that permitted Nachtigall to travel around the world to "identify the top challenges facing the Church of God movement at the dawn of the twenty-first century". This could be one of the most significant writings from within our movement in many years.

I had an opportunity to talk with Patrick just over one year ago as he was interviewing people for the book. I was impressed with the questions he was asking and the insight he was bringing to the project. An article, which appears to largely summarize his recommendations, is now available on the Church of God Ministries website. Read it to whet your appetite for the book, which itself will be a must read for everyone truly concerned about the future of our movement.

When I get my hands on the book in one week I will post my own review here on CHOG Blog.

UPDATE June 26/10: Check out the book's website at: www.chogmosaic.com

Patrick visited the little church in Prestonsburg, KY and interviewed the pastor. I wondered how definitive it would prove to be but am curious to see for myself.

Look forward to your review. One day I hope to be at the conference in Anderson. Enjoy!
