Runaway Radical: A Groundbreaking Expose of Systematic Abuse

Last updated on: April 24, 2015 at 2:33 pm   By Guest Contributor

By Kevin C. Neece In Runaway Radical, Amy Hollingsworth continues to do what she does best: weave a deeply personal story with the larger narrative of the love of God and his presence in human lives. And, in his revealing debut, her son Jonathan shows himself to share his mother’s ability to distill the mysteries of Grace in the fires of tragedy. “That which is most personal,” the elder Hollingsworth’s dear friend Fred Rogers said, “is most universal.” Amy Hollingsworth’s... Read more

Finding Sanctuary: A Q&A with Spiritual Director Terry Hershey

Last updated on: April 15, 2015 at 3:18 pm   By Deborah Arca

“Sanctuary is not a ‘program’ or a ‘project.’ Our western mindset can see sanctuary as something on a list to check off, and if we’re diligent, something we can excel at. But sanctuary is not someplace we arrive. It is a journey, a direction we are going. An invitation to present, attentive and grounded—regardless of what comes our way.” — Terry Hershey, author, Sanctuary Overwhelmed, overcommitted, and overscheduled? These are common answers we hear – and we speak – daily... Read more

Claiming Soul Space: On Creating Sanctuary in Your Life

Last updated on: April 15, 2015 at 1:16 pm   By Guest Contributor

By Terry Hershey, author Sanctuary: Creating a Space for Grace in Your Life Everyone has a sanctuary, if only in the mind. Even if we can’t say what it is, we know of its power. It is a place where we feel grounded, unhurried, and renewed. We go there whenever we can, which never seems often enough. Or that’s what we tell ourselves. A sanctuary is a place that restores us, replenishes us, nourishes us. In this renewal, we are... Read more

When Missions Fail: A Q&A with ‘Runaway Radical’ authors Amy and Jonathan Hollingsworth

Last updated on: April 2, 2015 at 5:07 pm   By Deborah Arca

“So many of the books out today beckoning young Christians to answer radical calls to obedience are totally unrealistic. They tell these extraordinary, one-in-a-million success stories in a way that suggests anyone can do it. But what these authors fail to mention, however, is that their results aren’t typical.” — Jonathan Hollingsworth, co-author, Runaway Radical The mother-son writing team of Amy and Jonathan Hollingsworth have just published a riveting, true story about radical faith gone wrong. Runaway Radical is the raw,... Read more

Runaway Radical: On Spiritual Abuse and Telling the Truth

Last updated on: April 1, 2015 at 4:58 pm   By Guest Contributor

“We’re often told there’s some sort of vending machine equation to Christianity. Insert the currency of sacrifice and you will be rewarded with miracles, success, fame, etc. The more you give, the more you will be blessed. But what about when that doesn’t happen?” By Nicole Tera I didn’t think writing a simple book review would be so hard to do. Usually I can’t write fast enough when I read a book that strikes a chord with me. But I read... Read more

Stump a Scholar: John H. Walton on the Tree of Knowledge

Last updated on: March 26, 2015 at 1:42 pm   By Deborah Arca

A new book on Adam and Eve and the human origins debate by Old Testament scholar John H. Walton is creating significant buzz at Patheos. We invited our Facebook followers to try and stump our scholar, by asking Dr. Walton any question related to the book they wanted. We received some 45 comments and questions– from the serious (“Assuming the Genesis stories are allegorical, what are the lessons we should take away from them?”) to the silly (“Did they have bellybuttons?”). For the past several weeks, Dr. Walton... Read more

Maximus: A Q&A with Richard L. Black

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 5:26 pm   By Guest Contributor

This month in the Patheos Book Club, we’re featuring the new book Maximus, by Richard L. Black. The fictional account of Roman General Maximus’ undercover investigation and encounter of Jesus is part mystery and part detective story, and an innovative rendering of the story of Christ through the eyes of an outsider. We talked with author Richard L. Black about the inspiration for the book and how researching this story affected his own faith life. Your book required you to encounter Jesus through the... Read more
