    Review from Autumn 2021

    This one slipped off my radar. Special thanks to Tom. He read my book and thought about it for a long time. But, he was a bit sneaky with his review. It took me over a month to notice he put up a review in Amazon. He never actually told me! Now to give his words a little more reach, I've made some shareable images. Andrew Gilchrist's The Divine Daughter asks us for a noticing. It asks us for a remembrance ("re-membrance"), to draw together a wholeness in distinguished space

    Mere Meaningful Membership - Faith Statements or Questions?

    New in the series: Do statements of faith try to answer too much? Today in the meaning crisis, can people gather in religious communities to ask questions rather than hold to statements? Why do we spend so little time on the questions? I explore 4 common claims found in Mere Christianity and apply some ideas from Jordan Peterson in order to pull those statements back so that we can ask the more important questions first. Some slides from the video: #JordanPeterson #MereChrist

    Review from T. Pace - A Meta-Modern Epic Prose Poem

    What comes to your mind when you read the word "meta-modern" in a review? Would you consider yourself modern, post-modern, or meta-modern? In some ways, meta-modern developments may be seen as a reaction... a reaction to a reaction, actually. But instead of becoming a reactionary with too much nostalgia for some imaginary ideal past, or falling into resentment and bitter polarization, the meta-modern impulse can also encourage participation. What does it mean to take up the l

    Familiar, Canadian, Poetic - A Review and Conversation with JJ Russell

    JJ Russell plays music while sorting out psychological and spiritual ideas on his Youtube Channel. I encourage you to check out his songs, but also spend some time with his videos on My Goddamn Garage. A mutual friend suggested sending him a copy of The Divine Daughter. So we got in touch with him and sent him a copy. AND HE READ IT!! Not only did he read it, but he had some glowing, heart-warming things to say. He picked up on the Canadian threads in the book, and the poetic

    Corruption, Correction, Christianity

    [From a social media post and conversation] I hope the title of this post can be read in the spirit of a "light touch." I am fascinated with the role of correction in spirituality - on the individual level, and how institutions handle corruption or mistakes with correction. This need not be about Christianity exclusively. All religious movements, at some point, face the matter of corruption of the way and correcting a movement's aim back to the way. Do you feel your spiritual

    Plutocracy, Pitchforks, Patience

    I’ve been thinking about the tide of resentment back and forth created by things like politics. Nick Hanauer’s article from 2014 - “The Pitchforks Are Coming… For Us Plutocrats” - reads in 2020 more like a strange, persistent problem than any prophecy. Link to Nick Hanauer's article on Politico Hanauer invested early in Bezos and Amazon. He loves capitalism, but he believes the best investment in capitalism is the middle class, not the plutocrats. People can be amazingly pati

    Reviews - Even Mom & Dad Have Something to Say

    Over the winter months, the conversation around the holiday dinner tables turned to my book The Divine Daughter. The conversation didn't really stay on the book, but instead wandered over to other topics and ideas. Kind of like the book, I guess. Anyway, Mom and Dad got thinking about writing reviews for the book. Do you think they are biased readers? But maybe you can find a certain kind of honesty in families and in biases too. Here are their words. From Mom: Andrew says in
