For most of these testimonies, I have tried to explain what I learned from the experience, if anything. I have also introduced some discussion about ideas that I have had trouble grasping, such as how we as Christians should pray and fast. I have also included some probably \"nontraditional\" views of mainstream Christianity, including an understanding of sin and repentance, with the hope that the reader may embrace the option of engaging a different perspective. A different perspective does not necessarily mean agreement, but rather the willingness to accept that God's ways and understanding of the universe are probably a little different from our own ideas of what we believe are the ways of our Holy Father.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI use scripture to support my understanding, and to a lesser extent, my testimonies, as best I can. I suspect that the scope of the material within is somewhat limited, as I look primarily at healing, peace, prayer, demonic influences, and my experiences of moving into a non-egoic understanding of God. My overall approach is not academic but is generally experiential and in places feels almost conversational. In the chapter on \"Prayer,\" however, it is primarily didactic. I have come to believe that relationship with God through surrender is one way that we may get a glimpse of what it means to live an inclusive Christian life, a life from the perspective of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Christian Faith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50929990926610,"sku":"9781685177607","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_cdc52a17-59fe-4532-9e37-720c9a813677.jpg?v=1739059631","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/seeking-christ-testimonies-thoughts-and-a-dash-of-dogma-9781685177607","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
