As I listened to your most excellent talk unfold and heard the many questions asked at the end, I was reminded of something I heard in the morning during my quiet time. I heard, "Jesus didn't come for a cloister, He came for a world." I looked up the word for "cloister" which is a place of religious seclusion. Then I looked up "seclude" and it means ... "remove from social contact and activity." I found your book addresses this quite well as even Jesus didn't remove himself from social contact and activity. He was very active in the world and actually gave his life for the world. By the questions that were asked at the book fair it was obvious many were not believers. What an opportunity to introduce people to the gospel in a non-threatening way, meeting them right where they are. May God bless you in your ministry of reconciliation to the world.
