MY NEW BOOK!

Stay With Me, Dear Friend
In Jesus Presence Through the Day
How would it feel to be such good friends with Jesus that we could bring up anything and everything — the worries no matter how small, the “wins,” the funny bits, everything strewn through our day? This book is about how to listen for Jesus’ voice and hear it every day as we go about our normal lives. The reflections and prayer prompts in t

Tons of fun. If Don from The Rosie Project were a retired assassin and trying to solve a murder along with Elizabeth from The Thursday Murder Club, it might look like this. I stayed up late to finish it and have ordered the next book.

Joseph R.
Joseph R. is on page 113 of 378 of Practical Theology: A good reflection for the Halloween season: "There is no human body without a human soul; a corpse is what once was a human body but no longer is one. And the human soul without the human body is like a ghost; it is not fully human until it receives its human body in the Resurrection. Ghosts and corpses scare us precisely because they are not human." [p. 113]
