Larry Asplund is one of those rare individuals who has actively taken part in seeing the Church transformed over the past few decades. After being part of the Jesus' People movement and pastoring, he's become a lettered instructor and mentor for thousands of people who appreciate his unique teaching style and brand of humor. Being a self-labeled "Progressive Christian" Larry is actively pursuing his passion for change withing the Church and has recently released a new book entitled, "Transformers: Local Congregations As Agents of Community Transformation / Keys from the Letters to the Seven Churches of Asia". 

Larry has commented on our little blog in the past and helped to bring good sense back to a few wild discussions. I know there are many of our readers who really appreciate him, so I know this little plug won't fall on deaf ears. Larry is keeping mum about the details so far (for legal reasons I'm sure), but it's no secret that Beacon University, where he is VP of Academic Affairs (and probably still teaching classes to eager students), will be closing its doors after this academic year. I don't know what this means for Larry, but I couldn't help but take this opportunity to take a moment and ask you to check out the blog for his book and maybe even place an order. I know I'll probably be ordering at least one copy to support someone who is actively pursuing positive change in the Church.
