		<description><![CDATA[One  reason Rebecca found trusting God so difficult was that Christians had tried to move her out of grieving by saying, “But you have another child,” and “God wanted your son in heaven,” and even, “God thinks you’re strong enough to handle this.” She said to me, “I don’t think I like their god.” She was not so much angry as she was confused. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A week after I turned 50 years old, I encountered those elephants. I had a heart attack. At the emergency room, I was quickly hooked up to an IV, an EKG machine, and an oxygen mask. The cardiac nurse asked what my pain level was. “Nine!” I gasped. Amid much commotion I looked over my oxygen mask at faces glancing back and [...]]]></description>

Not only that, but the Love that brought us forth from the raw materials of earth wants to woo us with the sweet Breath of Life into a full and complete conjugal union, making us “partakers of the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4, KJV). When the divine [...]]]></description>

Baby Suggs is “an unchurched preacher, one who visited pulpits and opened her great [...]]]></description>

Are they necessarily separate? Or do they reinforce one another and work together for transformation? Most of our adult lives Felicia, my spouse, and I have been doing [...]]]></description>

I feel a little like Gandhi must have felt when a troubled mother brought her daughter to see him about her addiction to sweets. He supposedly asked the mother to come back in [...]]]></description>

After interviewing thousands of young people and listening to their stories, Kinnaman found that the church has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mirrors reflect reality. In our spiritual journey God uses many things to mirror to us the reality of our heart. The book unChristian is a mirror (a full-length mirror, at that) to the Christian church. It reflects not only external realities but also the truth of our heart. As the church, we are called to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In twenty years of training Christian leaders in leadership development rooted in spiritual formation, we at The Leadership Institute have learned that the negative perception of Christians is an unfortunate result of professed but unpracticed faith. Even Christians affirming spiritual formation ideas may be little changed unless they engage in spiritual formation practices. For example, [...]]]></description>

Do we really want to have the effect on other people that the vision of God had on Isaiah and even the seraphs? In the [...]]]></description>
