Thanks so much for devoting the time and energy you have to reviewing this excellent book which I am telling friends and colleagues is required reading. <br /><br />John Preston & I will soon be recruiting people to collaborate on a project called The New American Narrative. John's excellent book, STRUGGLING UNTIL THE DAWN: THE FIGHT FOR BIBLICAL JUSTICE IN A POSTMODERN WORLD deals with our common goal of sustainable abundance, peace and justice. John has written a first draft of a proposal for this collaboration and will soon be recruiting. <br /><br />love, john + www.abundancetrek.com + "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind." -- Albert EinsteinAbundancetrekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02172605993275056084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-43520037636263999492009-05-13T20:33:00.000-07:002009-05-13T20:33:00.000-07:00See my last response on your new piece about a sma...See my last response on your new piece about a small god.Macrocosm USAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230565421346720272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-26814476191590686072009-05-13T20:11:00.000-07:002009-05-13T20:11:00.000-07:00I agree.
