My earlier correction today, was again misinformed! Crazy how this stuff works. But the list is out and who would have thought 13 months ago when we cast this book on the waters, what God wanted to do with it. Also Michele from the Sudan sent me a picture of some of the 80 children [...]

A few months ago, I posted an email written to me by Michele Perry, a Florida woman who had moved to the Sudan a couple of years before because of a leading on her heart. She rented a home there and began to take in orphans. Michele has now taken in 80 orphans and cares [...]

The cover story in today’s LIFE section of the USA Today is entitled “The Shack Opens Doors.” What an article! It is mostly accurate. What’s more the spirit of it and the insights into Paul’s life will minister to people whether or not they ever get or read the book. I love that!

A few months ago we were able to respond to the crisis in Kenya that resulted from tribal violence following a contested election. The circumstances have quieted and many people have been able to return home. But the brothers and sisters God linked us with in Kitale are still taking care of about 400 families [...]

First, an announcement. For those who want to listen to an interview I did on the The Drew Marshall Show on April 12, you can click here for the audio link. We mostly talked about So You Don’t Want to Go To Church Anymore. And then I wanted to share this letter with you. For [...]
