listened twice in a row

Tyler is so engaging and this book really flew by.
It is written for anyone who really struggles with their faith, and especially seems to rotate around doubt, looking at it from various angles. He does a character analysis of the infamous doubting Thomas; covering him like you have probably not heard before. This book is not only worth reading - maybe two times in a row - by you if you feel like you identify with Thomas... but to those who want to gain a deeper empathy for others who really struggle with their perception of themselves and with God. Maybe, after reading this, the church can open up space to discuss this prevalent situation more. One-on-ones are probably ideal, but imagine if we were all prepared to hear someone bravely confess this at church. Either way, I feel more equipped by many of the memorable explanations of Jesus' response.

My husband could not stop going on about Tyler's other book, 'Praying like Monks...' so that will have to be next.

Love Mortimer! can't stop talking about him to my family, lol. We can all give our attention to this wise contributor to society. We can reclaim our education, we can train ourselves in the lost arts of thinking, speaking and most importantly, listening!

Student of Christ teaches all who claim the same.

Revisado: 11-10-23

A classic staple going through the distinguishing marks of a true Christ follower. Depth & simplicity. Some ideas articulated have almost slipped by me. What I discerned but didn't fully understand, he explained while anchoring me further in Christ. The "spiritual desires of the flesh" (towards the end) is something that is anything (whether seemingly super spiritual or very worldly), that is in fact outside of Christ - whether one knows it or not. As a matter of fact, one in this space is unlikely to see themselves as being outside of Christ. and it should encourage one who never feels he is "getting there", but isn't giving up.

Big Fan

Relevant history of language manipulation w/ a lot of references being recent and ongoing.
It pays to understand that none of this is new. The rhizomes go far back. When we examine, ultimately the fruit, of such growth...we would be wise to consider how we want our garden to grow. 👩‍🌾🧑‍🌾...👰🤵...👩‍🍼

worth your time

Revisado: 11-23-22

Will need to re-listen to this one and press in a little more to each area where I know I can grow. At some point, I may feel that I don't need this book anymore, but until then...it will provide an important resource for this stage of life that I find myself in once we began launching our kids. I am so glad that she is a fellow homeschool Mom, because she answered my very specific questions. Really, her book just picks up where the Holy Spirit had already been guiding me already.

Believers, esp. parents! Read this testimony!

Revisado: 10-22-22

Her story will push wider whatever boundaries we didn't mean to put on God. Our lives, our minds, or hearts and our understanding all have limitations. Without meaning to, we limit God... who is limitless in love, holiness, goodness & justice. We are threatened by ideas, words, actions. He is not.

A must listen for every believer, seeker or critic

Revisado: 06-23-22

We were told that false teachers would come claiming to be Jesus; that have, they will, and they are among us now.

Alisa aptly lays out the critics' argumentation of the Bible and their prescriptions, and why this constant questioning & criticizing leave us ultimately hopeless. This will help you determine if you are on the correct side of the fence & why there needs to be a fence. May it bless you.

timely and accurate

Revisado: 05-11-22

love that Ben uses his gifts to explain the chaos that we see in the world around us at this moment. his book, the right side of History, better explains how we got here. I love how encouraging he is in how he ends both of these books.

Excellent high School History book!

Revisado: 04-08-22

Our Classical Conversations (CC) high school students used this book for their American History strand. it's a fire-hose of information that, in my personal opinion should be spread over two high school years. It spawned great conversations when we met once a week throughout the school year (the high school Juniors worked independently through the material). I can't wait to see how the revision reads when it includes the last 2 years that we have all lived through.
For me, the theme for this book became, "The more things change, the more they stay the same".
