Shalom: An Invitation to Whole-Life Christian Faith

By Jason Fowler on 04/17/2012

In the book Tom and Christine Sine say: “At the center of GOD’s purpose for a people and a world is the word shalom…A Jewish friend explained that originally this greeting meant, “May you live in anticipation of the day when GOD makes all things whole again.”

Growing Deeper In Our Church Communities (free e-book)

Growing Deeper In Our Church Communities [Book Review]
