Word Is Out

"We who preach and write, do so in a manner different from which the Scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We learn something new every day. We speak as we still knock for understanding...If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth than I would be with the one who criticizes me unfairly. Augustine
Grace To all,
Mark Hamby

eating disorders and Superchick

I realize that some who read my subject line are wondering if I have lost
it, especially those who are extremely conservative. But Superchick is
Christian music group that has recorded a song that I would like my friends
to be aware of. The other day I was asked by a mom if I could recommend a
book that could help her niece with an eating disorder. My first thought
was the book When People are Big and God is Small

=&aitem=2&mitem=2> but then I remembered a book that I read for my doctoral
work titled Telling Secrets by Fredrick Buechner...what a powerful moving
book...this is a must read for everyone. It is a story of a father's
journey to save his anorexic daughter who doesn't want to be saved...just
incredible insights, though I am sure you will not agree with everything.
Then afterwards I thought of a song recorded by Superchick, titled Courage.
This song would be an excellent approach to helping anyone with an eating
disorder. The song is beautifully written and recorded...well, at least for
some it will be appreciated...we all know how varied our music tastes are.
Listen to the words...they are powerful...

local book/music store.
