Times Online: The Ethiopian peasant farmer and his wife shuffled painfully into the orphanage. They were in the last stages of Aids and had only weeks to live. However, they were happy. They had heard the Franciscan nuns had found a home for their three children and had come to say farewell. “I am so…

I was genuinely moved by this Celtic "Breastplate Prayer" from Fursa of Ireland, 7th century, that Len Sweet posted on his twitter yesterday. A breastplate prayer is a prayer that asks for God's protection. On the day before Easter I felt it a good reminder of God's saturating presence in our lives: The arms of God…

Sporadic blogs come from lots of travel! I've been out for two weeks speaking in North Carolina, Seattle, and Orlando. Events with pastors, men's breakfasts, churches, conferences; if it was a Christian event, I spoke at it. The good news is that I did to take my family on several of these trips which is…

This chapter introduces the second character in the book, Stuart Daniels, a New York Times award winning photo journalist. Warning: it's quite different than the prologue.

Once a celebrated and award-winning photojournalist, he is reeling from debt, a broken marriage, and crippling depression. The source of Stuart's grief is his most famous photo, a snapshot of brutality in the dangerous Congo. A haunting…

After speaking at the Northwest Ministry Conference in Seattle (btw you can see a video I did from Ethiopia on the website), my family flew up from Colorado for a little vacation. It's been spring break for us and good timing. They barely missed the storm that dumped 18 inches of snow on our driveway. We've been…

I've been in North Carolina with some great friends speaking today. Three times at three different events: one at 6:30 AM, 9:00 AM and 7:00 pm. Here's a bit about the pastors breakfast. Thanks to Jason Kovacs of Abba Fund for this post. Off to Seattle early in the morning for four more speaking engagements.  This morning ABBA…
