Peter DeHaan writes about biblical Christianity. He urges Christians to push past status quo faith and reexamine their spiritual practices.

Many people feel church let them down. Peter seeks to encourage them as they search for a place to belong.

He’s not afraid to ask tough questions. This sometimes makes religious people squirm, but he does this out of love to encourage them to become more of who God intends them to be.

Peter earned his doctorate from Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary, awarded with high distinction.

I know this will irritate some people, but I don’t believe in writer’s block.

When you have a job, you get up in the morning and go to work, whether you feel like it or not. You push through and do what’s expected of you and what you’re paid to accomplish.

Writing is my job. I get up, and I write. Sometimes (most times), it’s easy and the words flow—good words. Occasionally, it’s harder to connect the right words together, and they don’t flow as fast, but I do it anyway because it’s my job.(less)

1. Start calling yourself a writer (drop the word aspiring).

2. Write every day, even if it’s just a few minutes. And if you can't write everyday, find a schedule that will work for you--and then stick with it.

3. Share your work and get feedback from trusted people who will be both honest and kind.

The Proverbs 31 Woman

Discover More about the Remarkable Woman of Proverbs 31

The book of Proverbs ends with a poem about a woman of noble character. People often call her the Proverbs 31 Woman. Though she may be a real person, this passage reads more like an idealized ode to a wife of mythical proportions.

One Busy Lady

Regardless, she is one busy lady, and I get tired just reading about all she does.

She cares for her h

Quotes by Peter DeHaan  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Spreading the gospel message requires going out to encounter people where they are, not expecting them to come to us and our church services (Acts 8:4, Acts 8:40, Romans 10:14–15, and 2 Corinthians 10:16). And”
Peter DeHaan, Jesus’s Broken Church: Reimagining Our Sunday Traditions from a New Testament Perspective

“people go to a church building to experience God. The implication is that we can’t connect with him at other locations or through different situations.”
Peter DeHaan, Jesus’s Broken Church: Reimagining Our Sunday Traditions from a New Testament Perspective

“We go to church. We connect with God. Then we head home. Once we leave the parking lot, we revert to non-church mode and resume our everyday life.”

message 2: by Grace

Grace Gayle Thank you for your friendship Peter
After burning out from nine years of a difficult ministry in an Ontario Housing complex, and the deaths of my father and brother, I plunged into the deepest, darkest hole you could imagine. As anger, fear, depression and loneliness engulfed me, I poured out my emotions.
God, who are You?
God, if You love me, show me.
God, why didn’t You protect me?
Our Ministry specializes in helping individuals heal from, Depression, Oppression, Low self- esteem, Codependency & Emotional Wounds.
