		<description><![CDATA[ A few years ago, I took a seminary elective class in Emergent Christian Spirituality. I had read some things about emergent/emerging Christianity that I found interesting but which also raised questions in my mind. We read and discussed several good books by emergent church leaders or about the emergent church. We even designed our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read an essay with this title over at The Scriptorium Daily (one of my favorite blogs) several weeks ago and it stuck with me. I&#8217;ve reread it several times since and would like to pass it on to others. It not only articulates some of the reasons why I&#8217;m also finding it hard to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve been spending much more time reading other blogs and neglecting my own. There&#8217;s so much good writing out there (if you know where to look), that it often makes me feel like I haven&#8217;t much of substance to contribute. But this posting by Jeff Dunn on the Internet Monk about Our Dangerous God, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This book is an exceptionally good introduction to the meaning of personal relationships that are called &#8220;spiritual friendship&#8221; and &#8221; spiritual direction&#8221;. Good spiritual formation doesn&#8217;t happen well on a purely individual level. It&#8217;s important to have some trusted person(s) with whom one can discuss just about anything and be vulnerable and open. American Protestant [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This book must be among the best of Henri Nouwen&#8217;s writing. In it he gives some very deep and penetrating insight o the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) and its illustration in Rembrandt&#8217;s painting of the Return of the Prodigal Son. Nouwen shares with the reader the meaning he found for his own [...]]]></description>

		<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 Presence. [...]]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote this review on the first edition of this book back in 2001 and posted it on Amazon.com. I want to put it here also because I think it&#8217;s one of the most important books I&#8217;ve ever read. Read on if you&#8217;re interested:
