Aristotelian Ethics and Young Adults. This is the basis of my final paper for the short-term intensive class that I am in. I am nearly completely finished with the paper, and I think it turned out better than I hoped.

Take care and God bless! =)
keep writing! I really enjoy it and you teach me with each post. Also, share your learnings from the young adult class with the WC church. We need to learn. I'd love to see the book list.
ReplyDeleteJudy, we had a bunch of articles from the Barna Group and a book called "Lost in Transition." I would also suggest "Almost Christian" "Un-Christian" and "You Lost Me." Hope this helps! =)
