FINDING OUR WAY AGAIN

This past week I started reading the first book in a series of new books called The Ancient Practices Series that I want to share some quotes from as I read. The first book is by Brian McLaren and is entitled Finding Our Way Again. The idea was inspired from a great friend and writer that you can read here. Thanks Julie.
