I just finished reading Think Orange: Imagine the Impact When Church and Family Collide<\/em><\/a> by Reggie Joiner of the ReThink Group<\/a>. \u00a0I have the privilege of receiving several free books to review, but this book is one that I paid for myself. \u00a0God has really been speaking to my heart a lot lately about the partnership between the home and the local church. \u00a0As a Christian school administrator, I see a lot of families that are missing out on the opportunity to plug into their local church because they feel like their kids are getting all the resources they need at school. \u00a0One of our goals these next few months will be to help students recognize their role in the local church. \u00a0We will have some special chapels dedicated to this and I am excited to see what God has in store for us! \u00a0For our family, our involvement at Freedom Church<\/a> helps us to see more of what God desires for our family.<\/p>\n

I’ve had this book on my Amazon wishlist<\/a> for a while and am just now getting around to reading it. \u00a0I am glad I read it over the Christmas break so that my brain is free from some of my normal day to day responsibilities. \u00a0Reggie Joiner’s main point throughout Think Orange<\/em> is the idea that the home and the church no longer have to operate as mutually exclusive entities. \u00a0In order for kids\/students to know Christ and make Him known, it is critical for the church and the home to view each other as partners in this excellent adventure called life.<\/p>\n

I look forward to implementing a lot of what I read in this book in the coming weeks and months. \u00a0This book is a must read for anyone that leads students or parents…especially for those of us who have the opportunity to influence both on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my takeaways from the book…<\/p>\n
