Some of you requested that I write out the list of books that have most influenced me. So here you go. Understand that there are many authors that have impacted my life, and I will talk more about them in other posts… people like Eugene Peterson, C. S. Lewis, Zizek,...
Sophia Rising
What freedom Sophia now enjoys! Nothing can stop her. It used to be that everything and everyone held her back and held her down. Now she knows that she is no one's slave. She is her own master. She is liberated. She will rise! I've pointed this out before... that...
