  • One Reader’s Story

    After I spoke with Andrew on the phone, I asked him to write up something about his journey.  I think it may speak to many in this community who feel all alone in the walk.  Here’s what he has to say:   Even before we married in 2000, my wife Renee and I discovered that…

  • Some remarks from Derek Leman

    Derek Leman’s book, Yeshua Our Atonement, provides an Hebraic analysis of the idea of atonement, quite a bit different than our usual Christian view.  I thought you might find some of his comments interesting, enlightening and, perhaps, challenging.   In essence, the Babylonian ritual is about the danger of demons, the necessity of religion to protect…
