Some excel in sports, math, or reading. Others display a natural creativity, or a knack for attracting friends like moths to a porch light. But think back far enough, and I'll bet you can remember someone like Nancy, who could barely lift her head to look you in the eye. Overshadowed. Alone. Desperately in need of a ...             The Divine Embrace4 reviews Ken Gire Tyndale House Publishers, 2004 Ken Gire Does It Again I have just completed reading The Divine Embrace for the second time. As with Ken's other works, The Divine Embrace is filled with nuggets of truth which go right to the heart. Ken uses the metaphor of dance in drawing us to live a connected life with Jesus Christ. Each chapter is filled with creativity, challenge, and suggestions for being more like Mary in a Martha world. The conclusion ...             Life as We Would Want It . . .

Maybe it is a little politically ...             Between Heaven and Earth: Prayers and Reflections That Celebrate an Intimate God4 reviews Ken Gire HarperOne, 1997 Exhaustive prayer compilation well worth the money Gire searches extensively to bring the reader the best tidbits of insight from the brightest Christian authors throughout the centuries.
