Book Club
Dear Harbor Family & Friends,
Harbor Chula Vista's Book Club is designed to be a resource for you and your family to draw you closer to God and as a necessary result to experience more joy, peace and contentment in your life. At Harbor, we don't believe that anyone should have to check their mind at the door of the church. In other words, we believe that Christianity holds the answer to the deepest longings of our souls through its emphasis on the person of Jesus Christ and what he accomplished through his life, death and resurrection 2000 years ago. And, we believe that people with honest questions and doubts should be taken seriously and treated with great dignity. So, we want to get resources in your hands that can facilitate your pursuit of God and that deal seriously with your objections to the Christian Faith. Enjoy!

Our Featured Book:
A Praying Life: Connecting With God In A Distracting World By Paul Miller.
"This book is different. This book just might change things. Within the first few chapters, actually within the first few pages, I could tell that Paul Miller was describing something that I had never experienced before.
First, he honestly and precisely identifies the barriers to prayer - a short attention span, guilt, inconsistency, and weak attempts to follow a formula that would somehow make my prayers acceptable to God. Yet his winsome way of presenting these problems are not a condemnation of our failures, but are actually an encouragement not to give up.
Somewhere in the middle of the book, it begins to dawn on you that a relationship with God that is guided by prayer just might be attainable. Then Paul introduces a simple way to keep track of the many prayer stories that develop as we carry on an intimate conversation with a God who wants us to know and love him.
If you are searching for meaning, read this book. If you are jaded in your Christianity or prayers, read this book. If you want to free yourself from praying "correctly" and learn to pray honestly, read this book. If you are too busy to read anything else this Summer - read this book."
