So we meet again, online at least. I just wanted to say that I LOVE your posts. They have insight and depth, but they are real, funny, and lighthearted. Thanks so much for sharing all of this and keeping it real. I've been really involved with St. Pauls and I love it, but this summer I'd love to check out your church. So maybe I'll see ya sometime soon. God bless, and keep writing! Eric! So we meet again, online at least. I just wanted to say that I LOVE your posts.

Speaking of honesty, there are some good books (of course there are) by Christian authors who have been through the 7 steps "phase" in their spiritual journey and then moved forward. I can recommend two by Larry Crabb: Shattered Dreams, and The Pressure's Off. Amen to that!

May we remember that as we portray ourselves & our spiritual lives, so that we might be honest about our shortcomings and failures, so that others might be encouraged about our God's ability to work through people who need more than seven steps to get it right.

These books may produce guilt trips. Comparing ourselves to others (the authors) is not a good idea. I like reading from the early Christian fathers for exhortation. They hadn't experienced Christian bookstores yet! Thank you. These books may produce guilt trips. Comparing ourselves to others (the authors) is not a good idea.
