Fantastic! Provokes good thinking and self examination!
Alan's written a great reminder: The Truth of the Word is increasingly being hidden from view by the organized church. Unintentionally perhaps, but it's the net effect.

Tracy Kidder's brilliant biography of Dr. Paul Farmer is at once disturbing and exhilarating: disturbing, as it points out all the inequalities in living conditions and health care between the rich and the poor and the staggering statistics about disease and the lack ...

North America is a mission field!

Doubleday, 2008
An Interesting Bit of History
The story of Sister Dorothy Stang takes us to a time and place unfamiliar to most of us. The description of life in the Amazon forest in the late 20th century is a stark reminder that there is still much injustice in the world. We owe so much to those, like Sister ...
