Adult Sunday School
The adult class is using a novel, The Chase, written by Hoyt Byrum and Mario Busacca in their current Sunday School study.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Hoyt Byrum is a retired Presbyterian pastor and the founder of the 3-G Coaching ministry. He has a bachelor's degree from Western Michigan University, master's degrees from the University of Michigan and Princeton Theological Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Reformed Theological Seminary. He is a master life coach and derives his greatest pleasure from mentoring others in living the 3-G lifestyle. He is an avid golfer, but many of his friends suggest that he take up bowling. (He is also a friend of Dennis.)
Mario Busacca is the owner of KeyStone Strategies, a leadership consulting firm that specializes in helping people reach their full potential through an understanding of leadership skills. His over thirty-five years with NASA, which provided him with insight into teams and relationships. As a former religious skeptic, he brings the perspective of the unbeliever to this work. Mario is a quiet, well-mannered person-when he's asleep. The remainder of the time, he is busy teaching Improv, writing and learning the fine art of cooking.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Chase is a story about a man who has been poisoned against religion but who, unknowingly, is desperate to find a meaningful relationship with God. His quest to find purpose and meaning is influenced by his wife, his best friends, and a pastor he meets along the way. The Chase leads the reader through some pivotal decisions and provides a simple structure, called the 3-G lifestyle, for living the Christian life. It is fun to read but also profoundly challenging for the person who wants to be "right with God.”
Book and Study Guide Availability
Copies of the book and the study guide can be found in the fellowship hall. They are $15 each (total of $30 for both). If you plan on participating in the study or following along at home, please pick up a set of books.
