Following Jesus is more complex and challenging than anybody expects when they start out on the journey. It's not just attending church, reading your Bible and minding your Ps and Qs; it is an adventure filled with wonder and difficulty, with unlearning and relearning. In Deep Like Me, pastor Rick Bundschuh shares what he had discovered about shuffling after Jesus, and invites readers to wrestle, grieve, re-evaluate, redirect, focus, contemplate, be still and get real about living the life of a disciple. Rick's story-driven musings are explorative instead of instructive, contemplative rather than confrontational, yet he warmly invites the reader to stride, stumble, shuffle or crawl in the footsteps of Jesus.

Designed to help students get over the hurdles of being human, and into a life that is a bit more perfect.
Life is often presented to students as 'pre-destined, ' that God has this perfect plan for us, and all we have to do is figure out what it is (specifically) that he's pre-planned, and align ourselves with that. A lot of thinking and asking of advice is involved -- do you follow your heart or your head? And, hey, be sure to pray about it, so that God can reveal whether you should go to college in Boston or Vermont...God forbid you make the wrong choice and you exit his 'will' for you. The Church has romanticized the reality of God's Will, making it unrealistic: defining something that only God can define. Our faith in God is the same way, God wills us to live 'in him', wherever we're at, with...
They say Bethany Hamilton has saltwater in her veins. How else could one explain the tremendous passion that drives her to surf? How else could one explain that nothing - not even the loss of her arm in a horrific shark attack - could come between her and the waves? That Halloween morning in Kauai, Hawaii Bethany responded to the shark's stealth with a calmness beyond belief. Pushing pain and panic aside, she immediately thought: 'Get to the beach...' Rushed to the hospital, where her father, Ted Hamilton, was about to undergo knee surgery, Bethany found herself taking his spot in the operating theatre. When the first thing Bethany wanted to know after surgery was 'When can I surf again?' it became clear that her unfaltering spirit and determination were part of a greater story - a tale of courage and faith that this modest and soft-spoken girl would come to share with the world.
