My Reading List for Class - Join me on my journey.
Jake Rasmussen | August 30, 2010 | 10:06 pmI thought I would post my reading list this semester for my seminary class. It is Pastoral Counseling taught locally. I’m exited for sure. If you would like, pick a book or two and join me in this journey!

Followers of Jesus Christ are able to have a voice in their community. I feel there is this big misconception that followers of Jesus are supposed to be quiet and not have a voice on things which plague our communities. It is ok for you to be a Christian and have an opinion on issues. And it is even ok if your thoughts don’t align with other Christians or the main stream media. This does not make you any less of a Christian. And if you are like me you think better by blurting out your thoughts and allowing others to help steer you.
