Join Our Monthly Book Club: Every 1st Thursday @ 6:30 pm on Zoom.
Our November discussion will be dedicated to the book How to Have an Enemy: Righteous Anger and the Work of Peace by Melissa Florer-Bixler. From the publisher’s description:
In How to Have an Enemy: Righteous Anger and the Work of Peace, Melissa Florer-Bixler looks closely at what the Bible says about enemies—who they are, what they do, and how Jesus and his followers responded to them. The result is a theology that allows us to name our enemies as a form of truth-telling about ourselves, our communities, and the histories in which our lives are embedded. Only then can we grapple with the power of the acts of destruction carried out by our enemies, and invite them to lay down their enmity, opening a path for healing, reconciliation, and unity.
