Christian Community God's Best Plan Simplified Fr Bill McCarthy & James Tibbetts

This book is about Community and the principles and paradigms involved in forming and maturing a community. What God is doing on earth is creating community and family. The reason for that is that the God we worship is a community, is a family. St. Paul says for this reason we kneel before the Father from whom every family in heaven (the Trinity) and on earth takes its name. St. John Paul II is more explicit he says, God is the family because in the God-head all the essence of family life is there: Fatherhood, Son-ship, relationships, friendships and love. Of course the essence of family life is love. So this is a book about community, family and love. The purpose of Community is to help members live a committed Catholic life of prayer and witness in the ordinary situations of their life in family and occupation; to carry out a work of direct evangelization; ecumenism on the grassroots level and more. The focus of this book is about forming and living a community lifestyle and spirituality.
