		<description><![CDATA[A conversation among friends last week got me to thinking about the way some Christians tend to think of the Bible as an exhaustive source of truth. It took me back many years to when I first read a book by Christian philosopher Arthur Holmes entitled All Truth is God&#8217;s Truth. Holmes defends the proposition [...]]]></description>

Almost a year after the fact, I learned about the death, on 23 February 2010, of a good friend. I have never met Bill Pearce personally, but he helped me to get through some very difficult times in my life. I&#8217;ve lost touch with is work lately and at some other times, but it was [...]]]></description>

		<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>

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[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>

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>
