  • The Fiery Serpent-Paul Kuritz
    Paul is a professor of theater and rhetoric at Bates College and a good friend. The last thing in the world Paul wanted to be in life was a Christian. In fact his single defining prayer was "God please don't make me a born again christian!" This suprising prayer began a journey of faith. Paul and his wife Kathleen have become cherished friends on the journey.
  • Cadences of Home by Walter Brueggemann
    The poet rethinks the art of preaching. Brueggemann beleives that a profound change in the way we preach will help lost people find their spiritual home. This book is awe inspiring to me. The dramatic way in which the prophets stood up to injustice with nothing more then an old text and the powerful belief that God would do what God had said. This book helped restore my faith in this second phase of my journey.
  • Free of Charge-Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace
    In a culture stripped of grace what is the motivation to give? How do we forgive when it often seems futile and conterintuitive? Volf answers these questions in the light of God's genrousity and Christ's sacrifice for us.
  • Frederick Buechner
    An artist with a pastoral heart. This book is breathtaking in its gift of storytelling.

Kaenaev38 David Powlison's book "God's Love; better then unconditional has a great thought I was reading this morning...

“God has blessed me because His Son fulfilled the conditions I could never achieve. Contrary to what I deserve, he loves me. And now I can begin to change - not because I can earn his love, but because I’ve already recieved it.”
