Mark, I have passed your generous (and so true!) comments along to Helena. I agree completely!

Beautifully said, Hannah!

Elizabeth, that podcast sounds wonderful! Thanks for giving us the link! I look forward to listening.

Thanks for being brave and going first, Renee! 🙂 I’ve found that many people have just never thought about how much of our lives involve our imaginations! And yet you’re exactly right–that ability to ask, “What if?” and to picture possibilities is behind all our moral decisions. George MacDonald wrote about this–and how cultivating a…[Read more]

Anne, yes, that’s a great point about the resurrection and moving beyond merely rational doctrine! And to me it’s even more excitinf to realize that the resurrection isn’t the *end* of the story but the *beginning* of the Real Story which have only just begun to glimpse.

This was one of the best Zoom experiences I’ve had because I learned so much about how to use the program. As far as the book study and discussions, I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to more.

Is there a way to view the comments we typed during the live session?  There was a book mentioned in the comments that I need to check ou…[Read more]

Hi everyone. I’m from Hanson, Kentucky—about 2 hours north of Nashville, TN. I’ve read over half of the book so far and look forward to the rest.
