@ryanjpemberton There is a series of these books. I bought them for each of the kids a few years ago for Christmas. Fantastic books. Basecamp is also a great shop!
"Love penetrates the defenses that have been built up to protect against rejection and scorn and belittlement, and it sees life created by God for love. When we look through eyes diseased by self-love, we see neither beauty nor virtue...We complain that it is ugly or boring."
“All I want to say to you is You are the Beloved, & all I hope is that you can hear these words as spoken to you with all the tenderness & force that love can hold. My only desire is to make these words reverberate in every corner of your being—You are the Beloved."
—Henri Nouwen
I'd love to share a bit (just a taste, we've still got our tool belts on and lots of wood shavings on the floor) of what we're dreaming about w/ the Eugene Peterson Center for Christian Imagination. Stay in the conversation via our (infrequent) email list. https://t.co/hmFl5caXyw
I am so incredibly thrilled to have received my acceptance into the D.Min. program at @westernsem. I look forward to the journey ahead studying under @winncollier.

I'm sad I won't be able to travel a little, read to you, laugh, pass hors d'oeuvres (always have to google spelling on that one), and clink glasses. But this evening is going to be fun. With @LizViceOFFICIAL & Eric Peterson.

@chuckdegroat Merton is one of my favorites. Spending time on retreat at the Abbey of Gethsemani and in Merton’s hermitage was a wonderful and spiritually significant experience. This looks like a wonderful read!
