Wow. Do you have a super-human power that allows you more hours in the day than the rest of us? Aly, I can't wait to read the book. As much as I'd love to give you the gift of a respectable review, it'd probably come out as: "It was real good." Mike, this is amazing! Wow.

Jesus feed a crowd of 5000 with fish and bread, you are feeding your own crowd (with twinkies) of over 1000. you bring them food that will nourish their souls. Thank you as for the young Brazilian lad speaking with a Mike Lee accent, if he has half the talent and love for our Lord that you do, it will do the world great good.

This is maybe slightly off-topic, but I had a pretty intense conversation with one of the lovely ladies in our housechurch last night. She grew up in a fairly fundamentalist home and has spent the last several years trying to figure out what it means to follow Jesus without the baggage that was left for her to drag around. She's on a good road, but something that's been nagging at her is that she can't yet read the Bible in a fresh way -- when she cracks it open, all it says is the same stuff that was crammed down her throat for 20 years. I gave her advice that will probably get me burned at the stake: Don't read it. At least, not for awhile. Read other people's thoughts about, and get in good, long conversations about it over a bottle (or five) of Grenache. For awhile, at least. At some point, I said, maybe in a few months or a year, you'll get this overwhelming craving to open it up again, probably to the Old Testament prophets. You'll wolf down some Isaiah appetizers and follow it up with some hearty Amos soup, and you won't be able to stop until you've feasted on Romans, and even then you'll still be hungry enough to have a smoky, spicy Hebrews cognac. You may even consider the cheese plate of 1, 2 and 3 John because even after all that gorging, you'll still be hungry -- which will be great, because the table's always full. People who've been force fed need time to get hungry again. What I didn't say was that I think when she finally feels those pangs of hunger, she'll need to eat in a different way than the way she ate growing up...maybe by switching up translations (The Message or the TNIV would be a good start) or by listening instead of reading. I read somewhere that sometimes recovering anorexics learn to eat again by trying different foods than they ate (or avoided eating) when they were in the throes of their illness. I think the same might be true of recovering fundamentalists. I'm glad the podcast option is on the menu for her. It may be the thing that hits the spot. This is amazing.
