The Good and Beautiful Community

The Good and Beautiful Community is the third book in the Apprentice Series, which along with three other titles forms ‘a curriculum for Christlikeness’. It focuses on helping us learn how to live as apprentices of Jesus in our ordinary, everyday lives. How do we live out Jesus’ kingdom vision in our families? What impact will our lives with God have on our lives at work? In what ways can we change the world we live in? Each chapter includes a ‘soul-training’ exercise to help embed Jesus’ narratives into our minds, bodies and souls, along with questions that can be used for individual reflection or group discussion.
