Jim Belcher said: " I love her books. I enjoy her writing and always learn a ton about the Church of England, human nature, and the reality of church politics. She writes extremely well, descriptive scenes. "

Quotes by Jim Belcher (?)

“The task of these emerging churches, they contend, is one of "dismantling first and then...rebuilding." They realize that this makes the traditional church uneasy. But, the add, the rebuilding stage cannot be rushed. The work of undoing is essential. "What to some may appear to be pointless complaining is part of a larger process of dismantling ideas of church that simply are not viable in postmodern culture. The emerging church even calls the church to deconstruct itself before it reconstructs itself for ministry in a postmodern climate.”
― Jim Belcher, Deep Church: A Third Way Beyond Emerging and Traditional

Hey, Jim

As a librarian (volunteer) I would like to invite you to consider becoming a "GoodReads Author." It is a way to connect with those who are reading your book ("Deep Church" is on my 'to-read' shelf, both literally and virtually).

Try it out and see what you think.
