@ReaderJohn Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on interacting with Shaw’s book. I am really curious about his idea of rescuing lost stories. Okay, I’ll probably have to take a look at this.
@ReaderJohn Thanks so much for sharing the quote, John, which makes me curious to read more. Could you share one or two of your own impressions or takeaways from Shaw’s book?
@scottjeffries So many ways. I have read Eastern Orthodox theology before, but to have such sustained attention to Eastern Orthodox spirituality introduced me to new ways of thinking and practice: deeper silence, more instruction on the Jesus Prayer, the place of tears in the life of prayer.
@scottjeffries Thank you so much for sharing this!
@eastbrad One of the most special places in Texas.
@scottjeffries That sounds very interesting. Was this something you developed yourself or using an existing book or curriculum? What were some of the biggest takeaways?
@chrisheck Thank you for your prayer support. I don’t mind you asking at all. It is the Cambridge University Press NIV Clarion Reference Bible. I love the format and size of it for study and preaching. CUP has other translations available as well.
@ReaderJohn Wow. I did not know that. (Or at least not in my conscious mind.) I’ll have to look at those poems since I’m familiar with others of his poems and enjoy them so much.
@todd Thanks for the encouragement and for your fun connections with the fivefold ministry in Ephesians 4. We’ll see what happens. :)
@ablerism It’s been a long journey. I can’t wait to share it with others.
@ReaderJohn I’d love to hear your thoughts on this when you finish it, John. It is one of those books that I’ve had so many people mention to me that I wonder if I should read it. Let me know your thoughts!
@ayjay Congratulations!
@ayjay I’d love to hear your thoughts on this after you read it.
@dswanson Thank you so much, David. This means a lot coming from you. Thank you for your wise, pastoral leadership and comments in your recent newsletter, as well.
@KyleEssary Thanks so much!
@ablerism I am a subscriber and I can’t wait to read it.
