Here Comes The Cure

Here Comes The Cure

Our new book “The Cure” comes out this week, or soon after. Folks in Topeka may be reading it at this very moment. Though I doubt it. Topeka has never been a strong market for us. …I’m not sure why.

We want to continue to examine, in real time, what life looks and feels like, with God and others, seen through this lens of the Original Good News. So we’re writing a blog! Usually it will be me, (John) but from time to time it may be Bruce, or an occasional guest blogger. I’ll try to keep them short (which is like asking Bob Dylan to not wear a hat). Sometimes these observations will be quick, fun, check-ins, sometimes the reflections of grace attempted in messy, painful, confusing, exasperating life. Often we’ll tackle a concept from the book, sometimes we’ll venture into answering questions…or hate mail. But always we’ll attempt to encourage you that living in grace, from our new identity, in community, is not a theoretical fantasy but a real way of life, meant for such as us.

This blog can be a bit of an ongoing conversation. Drop by often and leave a comment. Even if you have nothing profound at the moment, leave even a tepid hello…just to encourage me I’m not writing this only to relatives.

So, in the name of brevity, I take my leave. Thanks for coming on board.

John. One of the Three Amigos, part of the ever-growing tribe of grace.

I read this and felt kinda bad there were no comments. I can tell you this. I don't have a computer at home. So I only get a few stolen moments at works to snag a few personal perusals on the internet. However, the truefaced blog/facebook/website, along with Dave Burchette's Confessions of a Bad Christian are always on my favorites list. I always look forward from insights from you both. Can't wait to read the new book.

I am simi-leading a men's accountability group at our church, focused on sexual purity and good marriage.
I have been reading True Faced and I awoke to a new reality on "grace". Have been checking the authenticity with the Gospels recounting of the life of Jesus, and our relationship to Him& what He intends for us…it is checking out. We already have a start at "a community of grace". I need more info on this topic.
Hoping the "Cure" would help. Barnes & Noble aren't releasing till Dec. 15. Who else is handling the whole package? Book and CDs or DVDs together.

I would say this changes my whole view of God's "personality" as it relates to our sin, and problems.

Praise the Lord,

Mel

John - You and the Amigos are reaching many. You have reached ME and have helped me wake up. My dad gave me Bo's Cafe in August and it opened my eyes to the Truth. However, in my humanness I closed my eyes so I read it a second time. I have read TrueFaced and read your blogs. I have listened to some of your sermons. I particularly LOVE your talk on the New Testament Gamble.

I continue to struggle to trust Him and let Him love me. I have to remind myself everyday that there is nothing I can do to earn or lose His love.

I can't wait for The Cure. I read Chapter 6 on line yesterday and LOVED it!

Thank you for your work!

More of a question than a comment. What is the difference between The Cure and TrueFaced?
