We’re interested in purchasing a burr grinder for our coffee beans. I need some expert advice.

This book, Ex-Gays?, is not an easy read because the authors, Stan Jones and Mark Yarhouse, want this to be seen as an empirically-based study. The prose is fine but this is a serious piece and not your typical storied study of homosexuality and the Christian faith. So, in one fell swoop I will summarize…

Tim Keel, founding pastor at Jacob’s Well in Kansas City, says this: “My former church was a suburban megachurch functioning under Willow Creek’s seeker-targeted church paradigm.
