A Resource Question for All You Missional Types
A few days ago, I received the latest catalog from Vision Video. While looking over the different DVD curriculums they sold, a new resource caught my attention: "On Earth As It Is In Heaven." Here is their description:


Tired of routine and self-centered church life that makes little impact on the surrounding world? Here is a study series that presents a Biblical agenda for a mission-oriented church that maintains a clear Christian worldview, understands the call of the Gospel to participate in God's work in the world, and mobilizes believers to see their essential role in the advancement of the Kingdom of God. This series will either wake up a self-satisfied and sleepy church or will be so discomforting that you will want to send it back. We are willing to take the risk, if you are!

Here is what this study is accomplishing in user congregations and groups:
* Increasing knowledge of core concepts of a Biblical worldview and recognize how they impact and shape culture.
* Challenging the usual paradigms of the role of the church in our culture today and giving practical application to impact our community.
* Helping to connect the dots between our spiritual life and the cultural world around us.

I know that I do not normally use my blog as a forum, but I am interested in anybody (especially missional types) who has seen or knows more about this curriculum. Any thoughts?

Update: I have also found the web page for the ministry that is producing this series. You can read/download the complete workbook (in PDF format).
