Whether in a community, in a coffeehouse, or by e-mail, discussion and application of theology is essential. This companion discussion guide to Coffeehouse Theology provides what you need to jump-start the discussion.
Theology influences how we approach the issues of our time. Ed Cyzewski seeks to build a method for theology that is rooted in a relationship with God and thrives on dialogue. In twelve sessions that take on the tough topics—social justice, racism, war, consumerism—you’ll wrestle with the implications of theology in everyday life.
The conversation starts here with the voices of historic theologians all the way up to contemporary bloggers. Think about what they have to say and join the discussion.
Synopsis
All in all, Hannah Johnson is pretty happy as a missionary kid. In Papua New Guinea, no one worries about fancy clothes or credit card limits-everyone has other things to think about. But when Hannah visits her cousin Vanessa for a summer in America, everything changes. All that glitters isn't gold. Vanessa and her friends try to catch Hannah up on all the latest fashion trends, but in the end, Hannah feels hopeless. She doesn't think she'll ever be able to keep up with the rich girls-but that doesn't stop her from trying. In the process, Hannah is forced to come to grips with what she values most: beauty on the inside, or beauty on the outside.
