Flipped by Doug Pagitt

What's Brewing at Morning Blend?

Beginning Wednesday, January 9th, we will be reading through local Minneapolis Pastor Doug Pagitt's book, Flipped. From Doug Pagitt's the website:

In Flipped, Doug Pagitt challenges us to turn our thinking about God around. How does the biblical claim that God fills the universe with his presence influence our understanding of God’s greatness, his power, and his wisdom for living? Insistently biblical in his writing, Pagitt uses the words of Paul, Jesus, and other biblical figures to help us live more intentionally as we learn to experience God’s immediate presence.
