Hey Wiebke, glad you got the book, and thanks for connecting on my blog.

I only read about the book this week (haven't got the book yet) but it makes me so happy that someone adresses the aspects of the gospel, that are so easily overlooked in church because they are uncomfortable for people with our background. Since you posted this two years ago I wanted to ask if you would like to share with us how your life practically changed during those years. You wrote this book "hits so deep into my heart I need to begin doing something about it" and I'd really love to hear/read how it looks like now in your life. May God bless you and your family with faith, hope and mostly love, Wiebke Dear Lon,

My wife just got half way through it too. It's so basic, yet it's so phenomenal because so few of us are living it out.Joeie, yeah, sometimes it sounds like she's crying, but she's laughing. and haha, you gotta go read it yourself! I'll write a couple thoughts in my next post, but if i was to summarize the book, i'd just be robbing you of the beauty of it all.

I just started reading it yesterday and it's having the same effect on me. I'm about halfway through right now, getting ready to head out to Zambia next week, which makes the book that much more powerful as I read it. Glad to see other people reading and being equally moved. If you haven't read this book, go pick it up, it'll rock you.
