The Message//Remix - a new translation of the Bible by Eugene Patterson - helps you read the Bible in a way you never did before! Check out some familiar passages to get a sense of how different this is, then head for one of those passages that never seemed to make sense to you before (like one of Paul's Epistles).
If God is True - Why God Will Save Every Person by Philip Gulley and James Mulholland; published by Harper-Collins --- follows the question "If God is for us, who can be against us?" to its radical conclusion.

Episcopalians for Global Reconciliation ...
doesn't fit neatly into traditional church categories. An organization resourcing a movement of spiritual transformation of Church and world through bearing Christ to and meeting Christ in the poorest of the poor. We cross borders, break down barriers and promote anything that furthers the mission-- whether it's an initiative of ours or someone else's. After all we're all about the same thing -- God's mission of global reconciliation in the Millennium Development.
