Introducing new member, Tyrone Flanagan

Hi, this is Tyrone Flanagan and I'm a middle aged veteran of the Jesus Movement and a retired writer. I had to learn something about church history and the development of doctrine to survive the doctrine wars of the seventies and eighties. I do have a book that is currently available on Amazon that deals with praying together in small groups. I'd love to hear from some of you.See More
