Honesty with God

Honesty With God is the fruit of an experiment discovered while attempting to establish a new church. In 1968 a small group of adventurers wanted to form a church that would rightly demonstrate God to the world. We found the book of Hebrews to be rich in its definition of God. Whoever wrote the book of Hebrews was immersed in an understanding of the character of God.

As we traveled upon this venture of discovery, the character of God began to take hold of our hearts. We found ourselves becoming new and different persons. Church became a place to laugh and cry with others. Church became a launching pad for persons who wanted their lives to make a difference in the world. We had stumbled upon the kind of life that is astoundingly alive and cannot die. The institution we established eventually disappeared, but the life generated in those who gave their selves to this church continues to survive and thrive. Like waves upon a still pond the energy that motivated us has continued to move across the world and will continue until they beat their selves out upon some distant shore.

I hope the reading of this book will jump start the same kind of life in readers that was conceived in us who shared in that experiment.
