Still haven't finished the book, but the conversation certainly is open and encouraging! Not only have a seen a divorce, I've lived through one of my own. Great to read about what young adults in DC are up to! So, I’m a part of amazingly welcome group. Still haven’t finished the book, but the conversation certainly is open and encouraging!

I haven't read The Shack, but I think you've sold me on giving it a whirl (despite the ambivalences you hint at that I share). As for your Monday night group (of which I'm a former member), I cannot recommend enough making space in one's life for such a meeting of souls and minds. The fellowship, laughter, and support of the group would have been more than enough reason to make it a priority in my life. But I was also blessed by the gift of a new vocabulary this group helped me to develop to think and talk about my spiritual growth, needs and desires. Over a few hours on Monday nights, a group of fellow travelers helped me evolve in how I listen and how I pray. God speaks to us through those we allow to sit near us in our lives. Is there anything more worthy of a devoted space in our busy busy lives? Thanks for this thoughtful piece, Bob.
