Thank you for commenting, Carol. The “why” that her questions are rooted in would certainly be a wonderful discovery, but there’s a wonderful little story that does a masterful job at highlighting the beauty of Jesus by Ravi Zacharias called The Lotus and The Cross. It’s an easy but thoughtful read and takes the the logical conclusion some of the concepts that–less thought out–lead some to Atheism instead of to awe of Jesus. Also, here’s a link to a resource page on my mentoring website that may be of help: http://www.leadershipii.com/tools/alicias-articles-essays-and-samples/ Take a look at these resources, see if anything is helpful and then get back with me. Currently, I take everyone through http://www.the7thyear.com as a 52-week experience and I find that it deeply affects all souls be they new to faith or seasoned in faith.
