I highly recommend this book to anyone. If you’ve got an hour to spare–or even if you don’t, make one–this is well worth the time.

The Bread of Life
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. John 6:35 Jesus said to them,… Jesus is always talking to our hearts.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

We’ve Lost Our Ability to Argue
This morning, at a book club meeting, one of my friends put forth the thought that there doesn’t seem to be any—or many—real theological debates in our time. The extent to which that is true can be disputed—it certainly is true, but it really got me thinking about why it’s true even if it’s only…
