"This book is part of a critical examination of University Bible Fellowship. It gives insight into the structures and methods of this controversial group that's work is focused on students." --Dr. Reinhard Hempelmann, Director of the Protestant Centre of Religious and Ideological Issues, Berlin Germany "I think the book is so important to show that processing UBF is not about criticizing them mainly but about becoming happy, healthy, and whole again." --Former member

Throughout history ravens have been dark symbols of all that is bad. Yet these birds are fascinating creatures. Might there be something to learn by considering the ravens? In the raven I see a wild, playful, dark, fascinating scavenger shrouded in mystery. I also see an amazing narrative that speaks to our human journey of life. This book is an expression of three such narratives-narratives that tell the stories of three journeys. I call these narratives the "raven narratives" because they tell the stories of people and ideas that are "raven" in nature-beautiful, crazy, ugly, nasty and...

As we enter into the debates and discussions regarding gay people, I contend that it is fear that is creating the discord. The church fears gay people. And gay people fear the church. I don't claim to have all the answers to the myriad issues here. I do claim the way forward, the way Jesus would have us go, begins with casting out fear with love. My utmost contention is that we welcome gays into the church starting with love.

"Break every chain. Break every chain. Break every chain." Those words will forever sing life into my soul. My newfound friend and LGBTQIA ally Tammi belted out this song with such power and majesty at the 2015 Reformation Project Cohort worship service "There is power in the name of Jesus." Allyson Robinson, a Christian transwoman, preached a heartfelt sermon so moving I felt like the kingdom of God had already come to earth. James Brownson, Kathy Baldock and Matthew Vines each shared their eloquent, thoughtful and Scriptural lessons for how and why to welcome gay people to the church....

What can anyone do in the face of terror? What difference could two teenagers make in a world filled with evil? The answer is as deep as it is obvious--we can humble ourselves and choose to love. We can resist oppression out of love for family and love for country. Love is what drives out fear. Love is how we fight terror. Love is the ageless power that never stops growing. Love is the power that is instantly available and yet takes a lifetime to learn.

La mayoria de los ex miembros han sido borrados de la historia de UBF. Nuestras fotos han sido quitadas y nuestros nombres han sido borrados. Hablan sobre nosotros en tercera persona, como si estuvieramos muertos. Por eso, uno de los propositos de este libro es contar la historia de mi ex grupo, desde un punto de vista colectivo de ex miembros. UBF esta pintando activamente la mejor imagen posible de si mismos para el mundo. Este libro es mi intento de revelar la naturaleza de lo que esta debajo de toda la pintura santa. La religion sana se trata de la transformacion real, no se trata de...
