Keep Showing Up


Book Description

Keep Showing Up is the story of an evangelical Christian church founded in an unlikely place: Utah Valley, the spiritual epicenter of a culture dominated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, home to Brigham Young University and an overwhelmingly Mormon populace. It is a book that asks, "Can a non-Mormon church survive in a place like Utah?" and answers that question with resounding certainty. Written by Scott McKinney, who has served as pastor of CenterPoint Church since 1989, Keep Showing Up chronicles one small church's humble beginnings and its eventual growth into a thriving local church at the center point of LDS culture. More than a chronicle of growth against the odds, it also provides a Biblical approach to building bridges and forging mutual respect by speaking the truth in love. Comprised of more than three decades of experience living and working in a primarily LDS community, Scott McKinney's words are an encouragement to leaders of churches in similar positions elsewhere-a handy blueprint of sorts that seeks to encourage church leaders the world over to "keep showing up" with the Good News of Jesus Christ.




Journey (If Where You're Going Isn't Home)


Book Description

"The story of a boy growing up Mormon in America with a dream to play jazz trumpet. ... It begins in 1956. Young Shake Tauffler hears a line of music on the radio of a cattle truck that changes his life forever. The music is jazz. The instrument is a trumpet. His family is moving one last time - from a southern Utah ranch to a town outside Salt Lake - on his father's quest to bring his family from Switzerland to the heartland of the Mormon church. In two months, when Shake turns twelve, he'll join his buddies on a shared journey through the ranks of his father's take-no-prisoners religion. At the same time, armed with a used trumpet and his bike, he'll start another journey, on his own, to a place whose high priests aren't his father's friends but the Negro greats of jazz, men he's been taught to believe are cursed but from whose music he learns everything he dreams of being."--Back cover.

Journey Of Navajo Oshley


Book Description

Ak'é Nýdzin, or Navajo Oshley, was born sometime between 1879 and 1893. His oral memoir is set on the northern frontier of Navajo land, principally the San Juan River basin in southeastern Utah, and tells the story of his early life near Dennehetso and his travels, before there were roads or many towns, from Monument Valley north along Comb Ridge to Blue Mountain. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Anglos and Navajos expanded their use and settlement of lands north of the San Juan. Grazing lands and the Anglo wage economy drew many Navajos across the river. Oshley, a sheepherder, was among the first to settle there. He cared for the herds of his extended family, while also taking supplemental jobs with the growing livestock industry in the area. His narrative is woven with vivid and detailed portraits of Navajo culture: clan relationships, marriages and children, domestic life, the importance of livestock, complex relations with the natural world, ceremonies, trading, and hand trembling.
