A Natural New Testament
A friend sent me a link to A Natural New Testament translated by Frank Daniels and originally released in 1995. I have included some of his commentary and some comparative scripture. As far as I can tell, this is not in print form but is only available on-line. If there is a print version please […]
Conforming to His Image
This is the third excerpt from Milt Rodriguez’s book The Community Life of God. You can find the links to the other excerpts here. I have done some slight editing to this excerpt. “Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the […]

The Community Life of God
This enlightening book by Milt Rodriguez will change your life; it has become one of my favorites. This is a great resource for group study, being only 200 pages with short chapters. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. I plan on posting 2 or 3 excerpts…yes, it’s that good! Unfortunately, […]
The Vast New Covenant Transition

I have posted a segment from that chapter below and it’s well worth the read. You can get a free […]

It’s interesting to hear his perspective of western religion’s departure from one loving community to the sectarian institution it has become. You can read this, and other works free, from the website awildernessvoice.com. Here is an excerpt below. This koinonia–living in fellowship with God […]
This work by George Davis and Michael Clark is very informative, easy to read and well worth the time. It’s only about 100 pages and can be downloaded free at awildernessvoice.com. How and why did words like church, apostle, deacon, bishop, priest, pastor, obey, submit and many others enter our vocabulary and distort the very […]
The Normal Christian Life
I included a couple of excerpts from Watchman Nee’s Christian classic book below. Although not specifically about house church it is highly recommended. When the Galilean boy brought his bread to the Lord, what did the Lord do with it? He broke it. God will always break what is offered to him. He breaks what […]
Finding Organic Church
What a great book filled with practical guidelines on how to start and sustain an Organic Church! This is in depth study of how churches were started and guided by the early apostles and why it’s necessary today to have apostles/itinerant workers laying the foundation and giving guidance for healthy church development. Below is an […]
