30 days A practical guide to the Bible
For the next few weeks at W@W we will be using Nicky Gumbel's book '30 Days - A practical guide to the Bible'. It is a follow up booklet to the popular Alpha course which we have used several times at CW/G though not in recent years.
Each day has a scripture reading and meditation with good discussion questions. It is an excellent book to use on ones own but better in a small group.
Available at Church for $10. Though you can still attend the group without one.
Remember our $1 meal is served at 6pm and we have AWANA for kids age 4 to 11, Junior High and senior high youth group and Adult Forum all starting at 6:45.

Simply Christian - Why Christianity Makes Sense
Start 2010 with a new but classical re-statement of the Christian Faith by Bishop N. T Wright
“Wright offers us a genial, intelligent view of Christianity, and [Simply Christian] invites us to compare his work with C.S. Lewis’s classic in the same vein, Mere Christianity.” —Washington Post
Though originally published in 2006, N.T. Wright’s Simply Christian has already reached the status of a classic of biblical scholarship. Wright, Bishop of Durham for the Church of England, has been called “the world’s leading New Testament scholar” by Newsweek, and Simply Christian an “outstanding” treatise on Christianity that “will confirm, challenge, and deepen your grasp of Christian faith and practice” by Christianity Today.
For two thousand years, Christianity has claimed to solve these mysteries, and this renowned biblical scholar and Anglican bishop shows that it still can today. Not since C. S. Lewis's classic summary of the faith, Mere Christianity, has such a wise and thorough scholar taken the time to explain to anyone who wants to know what Christianity really is and how it is practiced. Wright makes the case for Christian faith from the ground up, assuming that the reader has no knowledge of (and perhaps even some aversion to) religion in general and Christianity in particular.
Simply Christian walks the reader through the Christian faith step by step and question by question. With simple yet exciting and accessible prose, Wright challenges skeptics by offering explanations for even the toughest doubt-filled dilemmas, leaving believers with a reason for renewed faith. For anyone who wants to travel beyond the controversies that can obscure what the Christian faith really stands for, this simple book is the perfect vehicle for that journey.

Book Description
Why do we expect justice? Why do we crave spirituality? Why are we attracted to beauty? Why are relationships often so painful? And how will the world be made right? These are not simply perennial questions all generations must struggle with, but, according to N. T. Wright, are the very echoes of a voice we dimly perceive but deeply long to hear. In fact, these questions take us to the heart of who God is and what He wants from us. For two thousand years, Christianity has claimed to solve these mysteries, and this renowned biblical scholar and Anglican bishop shows that it still can today. Not since C. S. Lewis's classic summary of the faith, Mere Christianity, has such a wise and thorough scholar taken the time to explain to anyone who wants to know what Christianity really is and how it is practiced.
