Books

  • 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.

Assissi For broken dreams, the cure is, dream again...And deeper CS Lewis

If you have a chance check out Lianna Klassen's new CD The Guest. Lianna is an award winning Canadian Christian Celtic/world influenced artist from Montreal. Tracks from the CD are beautiful. I love the attention payed to the hymns and their potential in worship. Also check out www.theworshiproom.com and their stuff on MySpace. More beautiful worship music. I'm becoming increasingly drawn to meditations and chants that have an ancient/future context. Lianna's "Out of the Borderland" is also and great CD and really resonates with me. A few years back I did a series of teachings on my old radio/talk show called "Stories from the Borderland." These lands often have that liminal character to them so often found in times of change. Celtic worship has that sense of PLACE between PLACES.

In the name of Father,

In name of Son,

In name of Spirit,

Three in One:

Father cherish me,

Son cherish me,

Spirit cherish me,

Three all-kindly.

God make me holy,

Christ make me holy,

Spirit make me holy,

Three all-holy.

Three aid my hope,

Three aid my love,

Three aid mine eye,

And my knee from stumbling,

My knee from stumbling.
