It can feel scary, awkward, and uncomfortable as we try to navigate loaded questions and different perspectives. Even the most faithful of believers sometimes get stumped. But can you imagine if we, as Christians, simply spent time with people who are far from God and provided a safe place to talk about spiritual matters? If we listened to them and discovered what was really important to them? After all . . . it's what Jesus did. And it's what you can do too.Drawing straight from the life and ministry of Jesus, The 9 Arts of Spiritual Conversations offers simple practices to help you build relationships with people who believe differently. Anyone who has read and appreciated Becoming a Contagious Christian or Just Walk across the Room won't want to miss this book on creating a safe space to have natural, loving, and spiritual conversations with others.

Winger is depressed by this and wants Major Kraft to authorize a special op to find out where the missing troopers are. Kraft is willing, but needs authorization from UNIFORCE. However, before the op can get underway, a new menace has developed. Red Hammer has used its stolen ANAD technology to create a special angel…a robotic celebrity and messiah named Symborg. He begins to attract millions of followers…a new religion/spiritual discipline called Assimilationism grows rapidly. Even worse, business and political leaders, even sports and entertainment stars all over the world are turning out to be angels. Some kind of mass displacement effort is underway. If it continues, Red Hammer may well wind up running most of the world as their own enterprise…with all the powers and weapons of multiple nation-states at their disposal.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy. Views: 231
