Recently, I was reading a book and came across this provocative question: “What exactly are you doing when you go to church on Sundays?” I appreciate this question because for most of my Christian life, I had the wrong answer. In fact, I would... More

This morning I planned to write a blog on a book I just read. The book deals with perhaps the most neglected and most difficult discipline in the Christian life, prayer. I never anticipated that this book was exactly what I needed at this exact... More

I really do enjoy reading. There is nothing quite like sitting down with a good book, becoming immersed in the storyline, wrestling with the propositions, being stretched by great insights or ideas. It’s amazing to me that more people don’t enjoy... More

I was sitting in my office last week thinking about a wide array of things I’m sure. A little book sitting on my bookshelf was practically staring me in the face. I remember the day I purchased the book. I was working at a pastor’s conference in... More
