The only difference is that this one hit a lot of buttons with people. It makes me wonder if whether </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shonondray.blogspot.com/feeds/3334217437079118760/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shonondray.blogspot.com/2011/07/review-love-wins-by-rob-bell.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1034043574535452337/posts/default/3334217437079118760'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1034043574535452337/posts/default/3334217437079118760'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shonondray.blogspot.com/2011/07/review-love-wins-by-rob-bell.html' title='Review: Love Wins by Rob Bell'/><author><name>Sean</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16710975007777035734</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l1qH8OMyDm0/S4LhZ8_LaGI/AAAAAAAAALk/uL__07cqDSE/S220/Photo+17.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034043574535452337.post-7316750769166808205</id><published>2011-07-11T14:27:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-07-11T14:27:00.787-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='book review'/><title type='text'>Review: A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life by Parker J.

In A Hidden Wholeness Parker Palmer explains that to have our divided lives become whole we need community. This view of community has a particular shape to it. First is to understand and acknowledge that we live divided lives. Second, we look at how we started out as children living an </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shonondray.blogspot.com/feeds/7316750769166808205/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shonondray.blogspot.com/2011/07/review-hidden-wholeness-journey-toward.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1034043574535452337/posts/default/7316750769166808205'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1034043574535452337/posts/default/7316750769166808205'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shonondray.blogspot.com/2011/07/review-hidden-wholeness-journey-toward.html' title='Review: A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life by Parker J.

He points out that this is not really 'new' because this type of living and doing has been happening here in the States for a while. It just hasn't been hitting the media radars so that is why it </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shonondray.blogspot.com/feeds/5200650872879136036/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shonondray.blogspot.com/2011/07/review-new-monasticism-what-it-has-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1034043574535452337/posts/default/5200650872879136036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1034043574535452337/posts/default/5200650872879136036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shonondray.blogspot.com/2011/07/review-new-monasticism-what-it-has-to.html' title='Review: New Monasticism: What It Has to Say to Today&amp;#39;s Church'/><author><name>Sean</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16710975007777035734</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l1qH8OMyDm0/S4LhZ8_LaGI/AAAAAAAAALk/uL__07cqDSE/S220/Photo+17.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034043574535452337.post-6173502968198605415</id><published>2011-07-08T12:13:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-07-08T12:13:02.128-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TED'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='commentary'/><title type='text'>Bill Ford on Innovative Cars</title><summary type='text'>
