Discovering The God Imagination Review
The following review is from Joe Machuta who writes at A Paradigm Shift For Thoughtful Evangelicals.

Confronting The Universal Nature Of Grace
This is not a post about universalism. ;-P About fourteen years ago a friend of mine, who was a pastor at a very large (1,700) church, confided that he was secretly a universalist.

In a world where we catalog everything, a young man just happened to capture his brother freaking out. His mother had just cancelled his World of Warcraft online account and he was …
