It's significance is its RELEVANCE to all the things we do in "church." Hunter put into words so many things that I have been unable to say. He makes so much sense! <br /> <br />-Ron</i>Stephen Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412126012825720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706370502716265832.post-36393817923429694782011-12-29T03:21:02.435-08:002011-12-29T03:21:02.435-08:00A Praying Life by Paul Miller.

He's done a great favor to the church by diving into the Puritan waters and bringing up their greatest pearls of wisdom.Stephen Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412126012825720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706370502716265832.post-39112121684641006932011-12-24T13:33:53.367-08:002011-12-24T13:33:53.367-08:00Hi Stephen,
