Today is my birthday and my heart is full of gratitude.
A few years ago, I had a health scare which landed me in the hospital and with no clear diagnosis. Since then, I am grateful for every birthday that comes around.
I am so happy and excited that I share my birthday with the amazing Brian D. McLaren. I admire Brian’s work, writing, speaking, and advocacy and it is a big joy to share my big day with him. Brian, “May the Fourth be With You” today and always!
This year, as we mark our birthday, we are also celebrating similar “book birthdays”. My new book When God Became White will be released May 7th and Brian’s new book, Life After Doom will be released May 14th.
As we recognize our new books, we invite you to join us in Pittsburgh on May 14 to celebrate our Book Release Reception and Signing. We hope to see many of you there and if you are unable to join us, please do pre-order our books to help celebrate.
Additionally, we will both be speaking and preaching at the Festival of Homiletics . My workshop will be on my forthcoming book When God Became White and my book will be available at my workshop.
