Description
Reviews
Thomas G. Long -- Candler School of Theology "Not only is this book wise, witty, and deliciously readable; it also represents biblical reflection at its best -- faithful, alert to the imaginative power of Scripture, and thoroughly enmeshed in the gritty realities of the day. Taken as a whole, these meditations describe the shape of Christian living, how it is that beginning the journey of faith by putting one foot in front of the other leads to places of surprising grace and wonder." Debbie Blue -- author of Consider the Birds: A Provocative Guide to Birds of the Bible "Room to Grow takes on the difficult, daily, and most important stuff of our lives -- love, grief, losing our memories, saying good-bye -- with tremendous grace, wit, and wisdom. Reading it made me feel hopeful for the possibility of small and significant transformation. I highly recommend this book for pastors and anyone who is trying to live like a Christian."
