		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;ve read many helpful books on spiritual formation in my seminary work, for other classes I have taken, and on my own. I have many more lined up to read. Few that I have read have been more helpful to me than Ben Campbell Johnson&#8217;s Living Before God: Deepening our Sense of the Divine [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had this one in the queue for too long. It&#8217;s time to just push it out there.
Can we be good without God? I&#8217;ve recently had a very long discussion along these lines with a friend and former colleague of mine over on his blog and in private e-mail. He&#8217;s someone who I had come [...]]]></description>
