The Spiritual Man
The Spiritual Man—I recently put together a site where several friends and I can discuss a book online. We’re reading, “The Spiritual Man” by Watchman Nee. Check it out and feel free to join in the discussion.
Process Thought to Reformed Tradition
Bruce Ware gives a history and explanation behind some of the major ideas within Christianity – from Process Thought all the way to Reformed Tradition – in three audio segments which are well worth listening to.

Healing in His Wings
