1. Does the world recognize… Read More

In light of my post last week where I interviewed the author of The Shack, I've again heard the ongoing battle of how we approach sharing our faith. Recently, I've heard different people talk about the damage that can be done by the book. So I want to take the opportunity to voice my concerns with evangelism on the opposite end of the spectrum.
There was an interview that World… Read More
