book article review

Last night the Lapag bros welcomed new member JC coming from Lingkod Greenhills. The activity last night was book/article/story review. Erik shared some highlights from the book "Leadership Secrets of Saint Paul" by Jeff Caliguire. From this book, St. Paul's qualities was clearly shown on the stories of his mission in bringing many people to christianity. He was a very good example of a faithful and radical follower of Christ.

JC shared the story entitled "The Gift", it talks about the story of the father giving his son a Bible instead of a car that his son was asking from him. The son became disappointed and so he left his father. Later in the story the father died and the son checked the Bible that his father gave and noticed that there was a key inside his Bible and knew that it was there since the time his father gave it to him on his graduation day. The story shows the value of God's desire to bless in small and big things. JC also shared his reflections on the book of Philippians in the Bible which also featured St. Paul's virtues.

Dom shared the book "Jesus Freaks" by the DC Talk an alternative band who radically expressed their call to remind us the works of Christ in the life of the martyrs. The book featured a lot about St. Paul who ultimately gave his life for Christ. Kicks through text shared the book "The Pilgrimage" by the famous author Paulo Coehlo. He personally like the author because of his vivid imagination which makes it surreal and out of this world yet, never far-fetched. One more thing is, the author also shows depth in the religious side - he is Brazilian and also a Catholic. It is a worthwhile and also an inspiring read with a bit of suspense, drama and trivial facts.
