This January we are hosting a very special Book & Brew event. An evening with Bob Rognlien, the author of “The Most Extraordinary Life: Discovering the Real Jesus.” Join us in the fellowship hall for a book chat and different brews from our usual fair - coffee and tea and some desserts.

Staring in December, you may purchase a copy of the book after worship for the discounted price of $16. Read the book before the event or after hearing from the author.

From the publisher:

Who is Jesus of Nazareth?
Teacher? Prophet? Pretender? Messiah?
There are so many ideas floating around about the identity and significance of this Jewish builder-turned-rabbi who has changed the world and billions of lives. How can we know who he really is? How can we learn to trust and follow him more closely?

Drawing on ancient history, Middle Eastern culture, and the latest archaeological discoveries, veteran guide Bob Rognlien takes us on an incredible journey from Jesus' baptism to his resurrection, where we can discover the real Jesus. Each chapter begins with a dramatized event from his life, then fleshes out that aspect of this most extraordinary man and the implications for our lives today.

With 60 photos, illustrations, and reconstruction drawings, this book brings to life the world and the Way of Jesus.Whether you have never read the Gospels before or are already a believer, you will gain new insights and inspiration to help you get to know Jesus better and walk more closely in his footsteps.

Bob Rognlien is a pastor, teacher, author, and archaeological guide who has been leading people on in-depth, life-changing journeys following the footsteps of Jesus in the Holy Land for over 30 years. More resources to help you follow Jesus can be found at www.bobrognlien.com.
