An accurate and correct doctrine does not guarantee a righteous life of faith. Because doctrine is a theoretical ideal, not a reality. Nevertheless, it is disheartening to see individuals who solely cling to doctrine.

William Stringfellow was an American lawyer and lay theologian who was born into a working-class family in the mid-twentieth century. Despite his humble beginnings, Stringfellow was deeply committed to justice and equality, and he took a particular interest in the plight of the underprivileged in his community. Throughout his life, he was more concerned with the well-being of others than with his own, even though he suffered from a serious illness for many years. In a time when American Christianity was grappling with the challenges posed by a rapidly changing society, Stringfellow wrote "A Private and Public Faith," which explored the relationship between private faith and public action. This book was published during a period of great social upheaval in America, as the country was grappling with the issues of civil rights, poverty, and the Vietnam War. In "A Private and Public Faith," Stringfellow argued that Christians must have a critical perspective on the domi

 "Out of the Question...Into the Mystery: Getting Lost in the GodLife Relationship" is a book written by Leonard Sweet, a professor at Drew University and a prominent voice in the field of theology and spirituality. The book is inspired by the folk song "Out of the Question" by David Wilcox, and its title reflects the author's desire to move beyond traditional religious teachings and embrace the mystery of the divine.

 Kyle Idleman is a pastor and author known for his insightful and inspiring teachings on Christian faith and living. He wrote "Not a Fan: Becoming a Completely Committed Follower of Jesus" to challenge readers to examine their own level of commitment to Jesus and to consider what it truly means to be a follower of Christ. The book draws on stories and teachings from the Bible to illustrate the difference between fans of Jesus and true followers. Idleman wrote "Not a Fan" in a contemporary American context, where consumerism and individualism can make it easy for people to view Christianity as just one among many lifestyle options. While the context differs, there are similarities with Dietrich Bonhoeffer's "The Cost of Discipleship," written during the rise of Nazi Germany. Both books emphasize the importance of radical discipleship and wholehearted commitment to Jesus in the face of cultural pressures and societal trends that can undermine the true na

  My child doesn't even eat and locks the door and stays in the room. “Boom bang! open the door! Let's talk!” Still no response. Why does my child refuse to talk and open the door? Why don't people around us like to talk to us? There may be numerous causes, including: Anticipation of the obvious: The response is repetitive and self-evident, not the appropriate answer.

Self-defense: At times, I may refuse to converse in order to safeguard and protect myself. By revealing my vulnerabilities and shortcomings, I provide others with an opportunity to attack. Past experiences: I have listened attentively to others in the past, yet little positive has transpired. There are those who approach us with empty promises, claiming to guide us. Fear of change: I am aware that I must embark on a new journey, but I may refuse to conver
