  1. GROWING DEEPLY BIBLE STUDY Session 16 GOSPEL OF LUKE

  2. Barbara Brown Taylor“Leaving Church” “If I am not careful, I can begin to mistake the words on the page for the realities they describe. I can begin to love the dried ink marks on the page more than I love the encounters that gave rise to them. If I am not careful I can decide that I am really much happier reading my Bible than I am entering into what God is doing in my own time and place, since shutting the book to go outside will involve the risk of taking part in stories that are still taking shape.” -p. 107
