A reader writes: Rocked in a Good Way
A reader writes (and asks):
Just wanted to THANK you for this intriguing book WE MAKE THE ROAD BY WALKING! That (& trilogy New Kind of Christian) has been huge to this Lutheran-turned-Methodist (Wesleyan) girl! A LOT if my old thots on faith have been rocked, but in a GOOD way! I’ve had a lot of questions & they are seeming to find answers the longer I live. I have been “opened” & I KNOW God is at the heart of my “awakening”. Thank you & I am continuing to explore.
May I ask you, what do you think of George MacDonald’s work? I have been led to him, but as if yet, haven’t read any of his work…only excerpts from Michael Phillips’ work. (You see, I think even fiction can lead to faith…)
Thanks again for stretching me & I only wish I could use this as a sermon series! But alas, I am retired!
God bless you as you spread the GOOD NEWS!!
Thanks for your encouraging words. On George MacDonald – I was a English major in college and grad school and so, as you might expect, I am a big fan of MacDonald. He saw as few have seen how deeply faith and imagination are connected. Here are two of my favorite quotes from him:
It matters little where a man may be at this moment; the point is whether he is growing.
When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over.
A cry from the heart for compassion, justice, peace, and equality in Gaza and Israel

"It is clear that the killing of over 1200 Israelis on October 7th of 2023 was unacceptable. But the killing of Palestinians after that
in the tens of thousands including women and children is not acceptable."
