Great discussion though I feel God as “through” me rather than behind emanating from the imageless and eternal present through intuition and faith.

Paul gave me this book and told me I HAD to read it. It really is wonderfully inspiring. While I have not yet finished it, I look forward to every opportunity to read a little more of it and feel disappointed when I don’t get the time I had hoped to read. It affirms various things I have thought over the years and takes them to the next level with some explanations I never had. Great Book!

Hi Paul! After reading your recommendation, I’d really like to read Jan Johnson’s book When the Souls Listens. If you have it, maybe we could read it after you? I also looked at your other reviews and appreciated them. I clicked on the “Political” sidebar and eventually got to the Niehaus article on dying. It was excellent and I passed it on to two “old” friends.

Comment on Coming Home To Your True Self, by Albert Hasse, O.F.M. by David Henne

Hi, Paul. The statement that impressed me most is that our experience with God is the main thing to “get,” and that this consists of life right now. I do spend time and energy thinking of the past and the future, not in ways that teach me and prepare me, but only hashing over or day-dreaming, which are not helpful. Always relating to God’s life in me now would help me distinguish the sometimes fine line between profitable and futile ways of dealing with past and future. David

I agree. This was an excellent read and very much like sitting down with a friend! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Paul — Yes, I think one example is the other religions of the world. They are attempts by humans to come up with some way to remedy our deficiency for getting in contect with God. All of them that I have come in contact with contain some point or points that seem to have come through from God’s self-revelation to the people of the world, but that didn’t come all the way through to realize how Christ fit into the whole historical development to fulfill the needed contact. It seems our missionary challenge is to fill in the gap. — David

Thank you, Paul, for sharaing with your readers about someone who had such a salutory effect on your life and helped you know Jesus. It’s really important to recognize people like this in our lives, and it encourages us to be like that to those we interact with, even though we’re not diffusing our words and actions to a wide media audience. — David

Comment on Deep Church: A Third Way Beyond Emerging and Traditional, by Jim Belcher by Ben Simpson

Paul:

I know I’m late to the party, but thanks for the link. Deep Church was a critical read for me, in that it helped me better articulate my understandings of what the “emerging church” might be, as well as provide some of the tools needed to critique some of the theological strains present in that conversation/movement/community.

Blessings to you and yours.

Comment on To Hear and See Jesus by David Henne

David Henne — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 17:20:00 +0000

Hi, Paul. This article touches on a subject that I am very short on. I have never developed, or even longed for, a desire to see Jesus. I know and say that he is the one who has saved me from death and given me life. Why don’t I desire strongly to see him and be with him? I think I feel that I enjoy all of his blessings so much that I consider them as being he himself. It seems I haven’t got to the point yet that I consider him as of more value than all that he gives me. It’s like Reynolds’ line: “Heaven will stop being about me at all, but about Him.” Will I get to that point before being in Heaven? David
