A letter from a friend...

RealLivePreacher.com I got an amazing gift in the mail on Friday afternoon. And, it’s not your typical gift (I mean, I paid for it, so how could it be a gift?). The gift I’m talking about did not come in the package it was sent in, nor on the paper that it was made out of. No, the gift came in the form of words so deep and moving that it’s like peering into your soul for the first time — a dive into waters that are dark and ominous yet so refreshing when you finally break the surface. This gift is like an intimate letter from a long lost friend. This gift is my friend Gordon‘s new book, RealLivePreacher.com.

I haven’t read through the entire book yet — not even close. For now, I want to savor it. It’s nice to have a book around that I can just pick up from time to time and read a quick story. Yet these stories are only quick because they are short… Once they travel from the page through your eyes, and then into your brain, it doesn’t stop there. Something happens that’s tender and intimate and alarming. It’s amazing that two or three pages can do that, but they can.

Thank you, Gordon, for the nice note inside. I will treasure this book always.

Hey Tim, what kind words. I loved seeing your name on the list of books I was signing. You know, this whole blog thing is very interesting and mysterious. I got a lot of requests for signed copies, not because I am a big shot or anything, but because we feel like we know each other in blog land.


I feel like you are a friend too. thanks for that.
