So I am having a Conversation with Peter Baranowsky on Facebook about Love Wins and I am getting duly frustrated. I am probably not frustrated with Peter (whom I respect and love) but more so with the position that Peter and many of his fellow evangelicals have taken against … Against Rob Bell, against Emergent…

Here are my chapter by chapter reviews of Bells book Love Wins. Chapter 1: So far Bell is asking all the right questions. The questions we have all asked or wanted to ask, or perhaps been told not to ask depending on our particular church culture. They are uncomfortable questions, that will fill you with…

Have you ever loaned a book to someone who take ages to return the book? Have you ever loaned a book to someone who never returned it? Have you ever had someone you don’t really know ask to borrow a book and you hesitated to loan it in case you wouldn’t get it back? Enter…

What a brilliant day! When I logged in to my mail account I see that my preorder of Rob Bell’s much disputed book “[amazon_link id=”006204964X” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Love Wins[/amazon_link]” and lo and behold Brian Mclaren’s new book “[amazon_link id=”0061854018″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Naked Spirituality[/amazon_link]” was autodelivered to my [amazon_link id=”B002FQJT3Q” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]kindle[/amazon_link].…

I wake up Sunday morning, close my eyes in prayer and see a beautiful lake at the foot of a beautiful mountain with snow covered peaks piercing the clouds. My vision is back! I can feel peace and a quiet strength inside as I walk to the last session of the weekend. We worship and…

I look at the calendar, it’s the first of December!? Really? You have got to be kidding me! Where did the time go? I am on my way to Colorado for Advanced. Yet again I feel rushed, not ready. I was going to prepare, read some books, pray, ask God for advance words. Instead I…

I have now completed lesson three wit the girls and I have watched much more of the Bullyproof DVD collection to stay ahead. One thing that strikes me right away is what an awesome system to raise young cowboys and warriors. This system is designed first of all to create a bond between parent and…

So last week I started training Gracie Jiu-jitsu with my girls. Anja is four and Angelina is six years old (Angelina has been cheating by doing a term of Judo first). I signed the girls up at Graciekids and started with the first free sample lesson from the gracie games (crazy horse) and the girls…
