Book Club Discussion: Infatuated with Infatuation (Chapters 3-5)
Detalles
In The Sacred Search, Gary Thomas challenges us to think beyond finding a "soul mate" and to look for a "sole mate"--someone who will walk with them on their spiritual journey. Turning conventional dating wisdom upside-down, Thomas asks: What if there’s no such thing as "the one"--there's something even better in God's plan? What if being "in love" isn't a good enough reason to get married? What if God designed marriage to make us holy rather than happy?
The Sacred Search casts a vision for building a relationship around a shared spiritual mission--and making a marriage with eternity at its heart. Join us next Thursday as our ROC Millennials singles group explores how dating should be a spiritual journey rather than an emotional pursuit, as we challenge cultural assumptions about romance with biblical discernment.
📖 When: 7:00 PM, Thursday, November 6
📍 Where: Panera Bread in Vernon Hills
