Recently we recieved an email from a "Through the River" reader. This is what she had to say:
"I was conversing with our Music Pastor's wife, and 2 other home school moms and we were talking about your visual picture of world view lens and the River Town. They all got out their blackberries and touch screens and wrote down the title of your book so they could go get their own copy. Because of your explanation I understand so much why were are so focused on world view. At our homeschooling convention - the theme of everything was world view.
I am contemplating teaching a class on your book to highschool students. It is so powerful. Thanks so much for writing it.....I am just so amazed at God's timing....right when I needed a book to explain it visually in a vivid way to Jacob. JT just picked it up today and is reading through it."
What a great testimony to the power of a word picture! It is amazing what can happen when truth takes on different forms. We have been so trained to read truth in arguments and propositions that we fail to remember that God is so much bigger than linear logic. God can use images, imagination, history, art, memories, and the list goes on and on.
We would love to hear from others of you who have read the book. How has God used the visual image of River Town to bring this truth into perspecitve for you?
Yard Work Fueled by Thankfulness

I hate yard work. I don't say that lightly. As I wrote those words, I
interrogated my emotions. Was I being dramatic? Was I taking on a victim
mentality...
