A recent post on my The Two Agreements group on fb

Those of you presently reading my book know it was August 1988 that the reinterpretation of the Bible theme and good news came to me.  I spent hours in contemplation over the new perspectives, in the form of images and inner dialogue, of the old stories I heard as a child attending Sunday school. 
You see, I was not "raised in church" but the stories were so very fascinating to me that they found a permanent home in my mind and heart.  Following intuition, not only did I focus on the individual stories of the Bible, I took a huge step back to see the "big picture" and realized that there are two agreements that God made with humanity.  With these two agreements, God set out to win back the hearts and minds of humankind, once and for all. 
I get excited all over again recalling those early experiences in 1988 of listening and receiving these new understandings of the Gospel. It is great to talk to some of you each day about the wonder and excitement of a truly liberating Good News story for our time.
If anyone is having difficulty locating a place to purchase TTA, let me know.  I will make certain you find it.  In case you did not already know, the proceeds from the book go to a not-for-profit organization that provides free services to individuals suffering mental health challenges, their family and friends.  My "spiritual ministry" is fully invested in leading this work.  We are celebrating our 10th year in March 2012.  I greatly appreciate all of those that purchased my book these past weeks. Blessings . . .

Falling in Love

The latest youtube video to go viral that mentions Christianity features is a young man expressing more than a little hate for the institution (read organized religion). At the same time, he communicates his passion for Christ as he boldly sings of his love for Jesus. How many of you can join me in admitting that "I feel your pain?" In my book, The Two Agreements, I write of my struggle with the "organization", divorce myself from it, and step out on a wide~open plain with just Christ and me. That day I fell in love with God.
