People long for community. They yearn for the security, friendship, acceptance, support, and growth that Christian community promises. But there's a big difference between wanting community and experiencing it. Real Christian community doesn't just happen-it has to be built. What is God's vision for community, and what is our role in building it?

The mosaixbooks.com/community study is designed to help people answer questions like these. Readers will explore the function of community and identify a set of skills, attitudes, and behaviors - humility, truth-telling, forgiveness, unity, and service - that are essential for living in community with others. This guide will lead readers through an interactive study of various topics. The study elements interwoven throughout each chapter include: a biblical text (usually from The Message), essays and comments by a wide variety of people from around the country, discussion questions, exercises for visual thinkers, experiential learning options, quotations, resources for further study, journal questions, and web interactivity.

Much more than just another Bible study, mosaixstudy.com/community will encourage readers to think, talk, and write about what's behind this thing called "community" that they desire so much. And it will help them learn how they can experience community at its fullest.
