Through my connection with folks who are into the Immanuel Approach, I contacted Jim Wilder who then encouraged me to get involved in a discussion about the beta book, Joy Starts Here which you can find here: http://joystartshere.com/
This book has so many elements of helping people who follow Jesus to have healthy community that are not found in other Christian materials I have read–and I am an avid researcher. However, in my four decades of researching, searching for, and experiencing community, I have found that what this book contains is almost every element of healing and healthy relating that non-Christian communities encourage.
I bought five books and shared them with people to see if they were on the same wave length. I felt so encouraged by the enthusiastic response. I have been a forum where people are giving feedback about the book, and I am happy to see the harmonious interactions going on.
I encourage you to learn more about this book.
