  • 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.

oldish prayer with distinct celtic vibe

If you want your dream to be, build it slow and surely.
Small beginnings, greater ends. Heartfelt work grows purely.
If you want to live life free, take your time, go slowly.
Do few things, but do them well: simple joys are holy.
Day by day, stone by stone, build your secret slowly.
Day by day, you’ll grow too; you’ll know heaven’s glory!

from Donovan's music for the film 'Brother Sun, Sister Moon'

One of our favorite movies! A German exchange student in our church got saved after watching this video!

I enjoy the line "build your secret slowly...your heart for Anonos speaks to this. Lord, richly bless these old friends as they bring the news of homecoming and redemption.
