Pierced by a Sword by Bud Macfarlane Jr.

Turns out the Mormon ladies join the great Mama Needs Coffee in seeking books that won't make you blush. In my quest to find some rather squeaky-clean picks for a book club, I stumbled upon a fantastic resource on Goodreads: LDS Book Club Reads. So the pic above shows said battery-jumping novels, plus two non-fictions, but somehow ALL of it skewed toward the feminine, hence the 'lady edition' of this book report. I said on Coffee & Donuts a few weeks ago that once I get mired down in too much non-fiction, I'm hopeless to finish anything until a good novel jumps my literary battery and gets me rolling again. Or more accurately-she started reading fiction again, which in turn, helped her start reading non-fiction again. com to the page of that same book.Heeeeeey, she started reading again.

We end up believing it's the only reality, and our lives shrivel.' Quoted from Everything Belongs, The Gift of Comtemplative Prayer by Fr Richard Rohr.

If we don't find liminal space in our lives, we start idolizing normalcy. In sacred space the old world is able to fall apart, and the new world is able to be revealed. It's the realm where God can best get at us because we are out of the way.

Get there often and stay as long as you can by whatever means possible. The old world is left behind, but we're not sure of the new one yet. We have to move out of 'business as usual' and remain on the 'threshold' ( limen, in Latin) where we are betweixt and between. 'We have to allow ourselves to be drawn into sacred space, often called liminality. We are all called to find that sacred place within which brings Life. We believe that all persons, beloved by our God, are called to grow in Christ, thus becoming a fuller member in the community at large, making the Body of Christ on earth more complete.
