The mysteries of Christ are meant to be explored by everyone. Every background, every race, every spiritual heritage is invited. Yet, it might not seem that way; Christianity can often seem foreign and awkward, even to Christians.

The last book I read by Loubier was Slow Brewing Tea. I remember commending the book for balancing religion and character/plot development in a way that didn’t come off as preachy or overly religious. The story was realistic and relatable.
I find the Tea Room Scrolls in quite a different feel. The writing is a bit tighter and more focused in this book, but you can tell that Loubier has grown as a writer and cares deeply about sharing his stories. The approach here is a personal one for Loubier, ...more
A mindful and spiritual adventure – ‘Walk toward the mystery, rather than away’
New Hampshire author Randy Loubier is the pastor of a church who has lived in Japan for a time, soaking up the culture and atmosphere he incorporates so well in his novel SLOW BREWING TEA. He has experienced both Eastern and Western spirituality and blends these two approaches beautifully in his new book, THE TOP FIVE TEACHINGS - Book 1 of a projected series he calls The Tea Room Scrolls.

The Tea Room Scrolls by Randy Loubier takes his readers on a spiritual journey that combines Eastern culture with Christianity. Living in Japan for two years, showed Loubier a people that had biblical standards woven in their lifestyle. The love, genuine care, and the peace they show towards those around them emphasize the Bible teachings. I enjoyed the layout of this book and how it is written and the added bold type and boxes helped to keep the focus on the main points.

I became a fan of Randy Loubier last year because I read Slow Brewing Tea. In his novel he talked about the tea room scrolls. I am a new Christian, mostly because of Slow Brewing Tea. I found a church and they are helping me learn.
I decided to try the Top Five Teachings course. Took the eight weeks just as Randy set out. I loved it! I am sharing it now with my church friends. So clear. So important for me to understand what Jesus taught! Sometimes the sermons at church are beyond my level. The ...more

You will never see "religion" the same after reading this book. You've never seen Jesus like this--throw everything you've every heard or read about Christianity away, and start over with this book. Loubier distills religion down to the essentials, uniquely Jesus, uniquely loving, fabulously enticing. If you were going to take a fresh start at "spirituality," this is where to start! If you were going to strip religion/dogma/protocol away, you would get to the top five things Jesus taught. Discov

This book was given to me by a friend and I didn’t read it right away as I didn’t think it would be my thing. But I was wrong, very wrong! The Tea Room Scrolls took me on a spiritual journey and I have to be honest and admit that after reading it has made me rethink and revisit my christian beliefs, and offered valuable new insight and understanding that I too, like the author, appear to have been blinded to until now. This is a spiritual book that invites everyone to read, no matter their relig

I am becoming a HUGE fan of author Randy Loubier. I read Slow Brewing Tea last year and loved it. gave it 5 stars. His latest work came out of Slow Brewing Tea. It is a Bible study that flows naturally from his "teaching" in Slow Brewing Tea. The Tea Room Scrolls will change how you think about spirituality. This volume one was amazing. (supposed to take 8 weeks as a course, but i couldn't put it down). I can't wait to read the next one.

The Tea Room Scrolls, written by Randy Loubier, is a book of five teachings to help facilitate people in exploring the mysteries of Christ. The author provides a safe, calm and peaceful Asian context in which to do so. He believes that people of all backgrounds can benefit from exploring the mysteries of Christ. He states he has been doing the same for 50 plus years and admits he was not a fan of Christianity for a very long time but knew he believed in God and wanted to go on a quest to find ou

The story is powerful; I like how it was presented. Good job writer! If you have some great stories like this one, you can publish it on Novel Star, just submit your story to hardy@novelstar.top or joye@novelstar.top
The author Randy Loubier incorporates both Eastern and Western spirituality beautifully in this novel. A pastor himself Loubier brings his own experiences and life lessons to the forefront in these teachings. Randy spent the first fifty years of his life denying God and Christianity, instead travelled in pursuit of many different Eastern faiths and beliefs. The aim of this novel is to pass his teachings on to both Christians and curious non-believers in the hope of reigniting their love for Jesu

This book has a lot of practical advice for exploring your spirituality.
What I liked:
1.Good weekly layout of weekly study
2. Scrolls and charts
The author lays out weekly lessons for you to follow, and to view your relationship with Jesus in different ways.
The scrolls he included are really beautiful.
The charts are easy to follow, and could be used in a Bible study group. This is a unique and different approach to a scripture study.
