I endorsed a new book, Not Forgotten by Kenneth Bae.  

Rev. Jesse Jackson and I worked on Kenneth Bae’s release efforts from a North Korean prison. We met with the North Korean Ambassador to the UN, wrote numerous articles and 11 letters to the North Korean government.

It was wonderful to get the news of his release and meet with him in Seattle.

Read Bae’s new book to find out more.

This is a repost of my last year’s Huffington Post, “Jesus and the Cross“.

I hate to be rejected. Don’t you?

No one likes rejection. Yet, we experience rejection and its pain from an early age. Children feel hurt when, on the playground or in other settings, they are not allowed to play a game with the rest of the kids. Childhood rejection may even be self-inflicted, when we resent the fact that we are afraid to climb up to the top of the Jungle Gym.

I am really excited to endorse this new book by Dr. Tony Jones, Did God Kill Jesus? Searching for Love in History’s Most Famous Execution.

This new book is a must read on how we understand the atonement. This is deeply important for the church throughout our theological development. It is even more pertinent today.  Read Jone’s new book to get a deeper, clearer understanding of the death of Jesus.
