Made To Be “Feelers”

I don’t think that God is as offended as we might think by our honest-hearted rantings, the ones plump with pain. Emotions are part of the human condition.

What readers are saying about Reaching Rahab

“Guilt–free, refreshing, captivating, and real!”

Rick Wulfestieg, founding Executive Director of Foursquare Media

“Barney’s evangelism flows out of a brokenness that helps him to relate to people as a friend, a fellow learner and one who can relate with empathy in people’s personal journey…”

Tim Svoboda, YWAM San Francisco Bay Area Coordinator
