Mother dignosis with breast cancer wasn't helpful acted as if he was irritated because he had to explain procedures to us. Didn't explain the stage of cancer mother had when we asked questions was very short with us and quick to leave room. Worse experience ever to have mother diagnosed with cancer and the specialist act as if didn't want to explain or know what was going on with patient's condition. Ordered blood work and didn't even tell us what they were for nurse talk to us more than doctor.

Bystanders Subdue Two Suspects in Upper East Side Mugging
By LYNETTE HOLLOWAY
Published: May 2, 1996
Two muggers who were chased down by bystanders on the Upper East Side after beating an 86-year-old woman were charged in a separate case yesterday: the murder of another elderly woman they had mugged in the same neighborhood just weeks before, the police said.
The suspects, Israel Rodriguez, 32, and Elizabeth Gonzalez, 24, were arrested Tuesday afternoon for beating and robbing Mary Anastasio of her purse, said Doran Tamari, a police spokesman. Bystanders, including an employee of the Mayor's office, quickly came to aid the victim upon spotting the incident, ran after the attackers and held them down until the police arrived, Mr. Tamari said.
Police investigators later found in Mr. Rodriguez's possession the automatic teller card of Doris Roditi, a 75-year-old woman who was discovered sprawled on the sidewalk with a head wound on April 12. Mrs. Roditi died five days later of injuries that the police had thought were the result of an accidental fall.
Ms. Gonzalez and Mr. Rodriguez apparently implicated themselves in Mrs. Roditi's murder during questioning about how Mr. Rodriguez had obtained the bank card and about Ms. Anastasio's mugging, officials said. No details about their statements were provided. The pair have been charged with second-degree murder, robbery and assault, Mr. Tamari said.
Ms. Anastasio was mugged on Tuesday at 1:57 P.M. at East 94th Street and Madison Avenue, only three blocks from where Mrs. Roditi was found. Ms. Anastasio was returning from church and a trip to the bank, she said yesterday during an interview at the Upper East Side apartment. The suspects smashed her face on the sidewalk -- breaking her nose and a tooth -- then wrestled away her purse and fled.
Lynn Jackson Quinn, 35, executive director of the New York City Commission on the Status of Women, was one of several bystanders who chased Ms. Gonzalez down the street before a security guard helped them hold the suspect until the police arrived, Mr. Tamari said. Moments later, officers on patrol captured Mr. Rodriguez.
"You see an older woman get knocked down and you become angry," Mrs. Quinn said in telephone interview from her office in City Hall. "My thought was to get this woman's purse back for her."
Mrs. Quinn, who described herself as nonathletic, said she had no trouble running through crowds of stunned people during the chase. And she believes she would do it again, although her reaction on Tuesday was purely impulsive.
"My brother's a cop and my dad's a retired Naval officer," said Mrs. Quinn, who was in the neighborhood on her lunch break running errands when the assault occurred. "This is a neighborhood full of family and schoolchildren and older women, and you become surprised when something like this happens."
As for Mrs. Anastasio, she was grateful for help from the good Samaritans, saying that when she gets better she would like to visit them.
Sitting in a yellow armchair in her modest apartment and dressed in a floral print housedress, the soft-spoken Ms. Anastasio was visibly in pain. Both eyes were encircled by black and blue bruises, a front tooth was broken and her nose was swollen. In spite of that, she wore a cheerful pink lipstick. She was treated on Tuesday evening at Mount Sinai Medical Center and released.
She said the incident had not made her fearful of going outside on her own, although she will now be more careful.
The petite but solid woman is known in her neighborhood for her work as a volunteer at soup kitchens and visiting other elderly residents.
Describing the incident, she said she was walking home along Madison Avenue from a social club gathering at St. Thomas More Church on 89th Street and Madison Avenue. The attack occurred after she made a $70 bank deposit with a teller at Citibank. "I don't trust the ATM machines," she said describing her persistent use of tellers.
"The next thing I knew I was on the sidewalk with my head to the ground," she said. "The people helped me and bandaged my bloody nose. I'll go see them when I'm better."
She said the muggers took her blue canvas tote bag, which contained just $25. "But I got it back with everything inside," she said.
Ms. Anastasio's niece, Annamary Christ, 49, who lives on Long Island, described her aunt as strong-willed and stubborn, saying: "When I leave after visiting Mary, she insists on walking me to my car. I don't think this will deter her. She's not afraid of going out on the street."

"Intriguing story - not just for horse lovers!"
Great story- and made even better by the epilogue. Liked the narrator's voice. Am now a Jo Jo Moyes fan!
"not the usual Jojo Moyes"
The story is too unrealistic - a divorcing couple taking a teenager to the house they are about to sell, a selfish ex-husband who suddenly acts caring and responsible, a caring and responsible woman who suddenly acts selfish and hysterical. And a teen girl with a brain of 6 y.o. (main problem of the story, just too dumb). I did not like anyone in this book because they were all too grotesque. Not a single positive character in this book,even a horse was bad-tempered.
"A great story!"
I really enjoyed this story it shows how a lack of communication can be so detrimental in any kind of relationship!
I was not fond of the male narrators. They should use a man rather them disguise a women's voice. It made Mack sound unpleasant.
"If you have ever had a horse..."
Two love stories
The love for a horse
The ending!
Yes, listened to it twice.
I love this author and this one is my favorite.
"Training horses"
One of the best novels I've read that truly gets at the heart of the love of developing a relationship with a horse. The human story is also enthralling with all the nuances of longterm relationships. I loved this story. I listened to it on a 7 hour car ride there and back and then some. I'm sorry it's over.
"Great story"
A bit of a slow start but excellent once you get going. Well worth the read. I liked it very much.
"Good story!"
I liked this a lot. It was quite serious, not a fun chick-lit book at all. But it was a solid story and very interesting.
"One of the BEST books I have listened to. Ever!!!"
Great story line. Engaging story. Splendid narrator. Recommend highly.
The bridging of both eras. The strength of the characters and the power of hope
"Two boxes of tissues, minimum!"
This book was SOOOOOOOO good!
At first I was impatient for the author to finish getting all of the characters on the stage so that something would start happening. The characters were all so emotionally dishonest and closed off and everyone was in such sad places.
Then when all the characters did start interacting with each other, the drama got even more heartbreaking!
So why am I recommending this tear jerker of a story? Because it was so GOOD. The characters were great, the emotional tension was taught, the worlds we were introduced to (both the urban stable yard and the French riding academy) were exotic and previously unknown to me.
Julie Franklin communicated the action and drama very well, but the voice she created for Mack was a little coarse and did not lend itself to Mack's tender moments. I probably would have preferred a younger sounding reader, but I certainly enjoyed the story as Franklin performed it.
"Absolutely excellent!"
Absolutely. I am on the road a minimum of 3 hours a day. I would find myself getting off the highway an exit after mine and driving through town so I could listen to more.
I have listened to over 30 books in the last year and this rates in the top 5. Excellent story, excellent narrator. Cannot say enough good about it. Listen or read--it is a good one.

Martin's death puts government at 'major disadvantage'
Updated: February 17, 2003, 8:37 AM ETAssociated Press
DETROIT -- The death of ex-University of Michigan sports booster Ed Martin could hamper the obstruction of justice and perjury case against Sacramento Kings star Chris Webber, lawyers say.
Martin admitted he gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Webber and other former University of Michigan basketball players while they were in high school and college.
Martin, 69, had been expected to testify in Webber's case. But he died Friday of what is believed to have been a pulmonary embolism.

Flunking Sainthood
Jana Riess was baptized in her final year of study at Princeton Theological Seminary. Her career plan to be a Protestant pastor derailed by her conversion, she now is an editor for a religious publishing house, teaches college, and writes about religion. Her most recent book, Flunking Sainthood, is a memoir about a year's journey through spiritual practices.
Tell me about your religious background.
I was raised in western Illinois, not far from Nauvoo. My mother was agnostic. My father was an atheist, so I grew up with no religious background. I was not taught to believe, but I can't remember a time when I didn't believe in and communicate with God.
My first exposure to Mormonism and Mormon history was when I was eleven. I took a summer class called "Nauvoo and the Mormons." I took it because it had a field trip and I really liked going anywhere. At the end of this two week course, we all went to Nauvoo for a day. My chief memory of Nauvoo, other than vomiting on the merry-go-round at the park, was a room called the Women's Room. It had handicrafts and quilts and there was an enormous photograph of Marie Osmond and her mother on the wall.
I went back to Nauvoo a few years later, and Marie was gone. The whole thing had been removed from the Women's Room, apparently because Marie had gotten divorced and was no longer a moral exemplar. Both of those things made an impression on me: the fact that it was there in the first place and the fact that it disappeared when her life ceased to be the cultural ideal.
I was a junior at Wellesley, a religion major, when I began reading more seriously about Mormonism. The next year I chose to do my senior honors thesis on Mormonism and American politics. I also had a couple of Mormon friends, and one of them in particular made a huge impression on me. It was through her example that I began to see that there were many different kinds of Latter-day Saints who were faithful and orthodox, yet very engaged with the world.
This is where the story gets hard to relate. It's always difficult, I think, to relay ineffable experiences to other people. After college, I went to spend the summer of 1991 in Vermont with some friends, and while I was there I spent a day at the Joseph Smith Memorial in Sharon. A missionary there challenged me to read the Book of Mormon. I accepted the challenge and started reading the Book of Mormon. For the rest of the summer I met regularly with two sister missionaries about my age. It was through reading the Book of Mormon that I began to think about Mormonism seriously as a choice for me, not simply as something to study or to observe as a curiosity but as something that might have a claim on my life.
The problem was that I was heading off to Princeton Theological Seminary. I had already set upon the career path of being a Protestant minister, and I was also engaged to marry a Protestant man. Choosing to change religions in such a drastic manner had far-reaching implications that I was not ready to embrace at that time.
I put Mormonism on the back-burner, but I found I kept returning to it. I'd find excuses to write papers about it. I spent a lot of free time reading about it. I read a lot of Dialogue [a Mormon academic journal], which they had in the stacks at the university library. It was hard for me to admit this was not just an academic interest but also an intensely personal one.
It took me until the winter of 1993 to decide that this was something I wanted to do more personally. I wrote a letter to a different friend of mine who had been at Wellesley with me. She had left on a mission after college. I had not kept in touch, but I had a vague idea she might be returning from her mission around that period. So I wrote and explained that I was interested in Mormonism but that I didn't want to sit down with a stranger, which is basically what a missionary is. I wanted to sit with a friend who would understand that this might lead absolutely nowhere but that I wanted to talk about it openly.
She got my letter the day after she returned from her mission. The timing was quite extraordinary. At the end of her mission she felt she had not completed what she wanted to do and so she had prayed to God that there would be opportunities for her to do missionary work wherever she was going next. For her this letter seemed a remarkable answer to prayer. Her parents lived in New Jersey about an hour from where I was living. We started meeting regularly. I started reading the Book of Mormon and trying to imagine my life as a Latter-day Saint, which was a huge shift in thinking.
You were still in seminary?
Yes! Awkward, huh? I was quite secretive about it. I hadn't at this point made a decision, but about March I started living the Word of Wisdom. I thought that if I wanted to be baptized I needed to know I could live these standards before I made the commitment of baptism. I kept the Word of Wisdom for about six months before I got baptized. It said it was "for the weakest of all saints," so I figured that was me! I was definitely inspired by Alma 32. That was one of the passages of the Book of Mormon that spoke to me most directly. I loved the idea of seeing how this new faith tasted. What would it be like? How would it change my life to live this way and to choose to believe?
The lifestyle of Mormonism appeals to a lot of new converts, but it didn't speak to me in the same way. And there were elements of the culture that I found truly upsetting: the racist history was very troubling for me; the fact that I was training to be a pastor and I was contemplating joining a church in which as a woman I would have no ecclesiastical authority whatsoever was hugely depressing at that time. So I had a lot of cultural issues that I needed to work out.
It took quite a while and I wasn't baptized until September of 1993. I was at the very beginning of my senior year of seminary and choosing a thesis topic. You might remember that September of 1993 was not a happy time to be a liberal feminist in the Church. I read in the New York Times about the excommunications that were going on and decided to do my thesis about these excommunications. My adviser didn't actually realize until later that I had just been baptized as a Mormon.
It was so raw. I just didn't feel ready to share the fact of my conversion with very many people at all. I wasn't sure how it would sound and I certainly wasn't prepared to defend Mormonism if the environment proved to be hostile. It was difficult because I'm a fundamentally transparent person. I'm not a secret keeper. I can't even keep my Christmas presents secret from my family, but here I was keeping this very big secret for several months about what had changed in my life. I was trying to navigate this brand-new religion that I didn't yet understand culturally and I was trying to find a whole new career path. That was both exciting and scary.
My husband, of course, knew what was happening. He tried very hard to be supportive. He was concerned because this was a major change, and he didn't quite understand what it was about, but it wasn't very long before he came on board completely and was supporting me in whatever I wanted to do. However, there were other people in my family and in my circle of friends–when I eventually told people–who were very upset.
You settled on a career in publishing and now edit and write books about religion. You've just had a book come out this fall called Flunking Sainthood. It chronicles your attempt to follow a different religious practice every month. Can you tell me how you came up with the idea for the book?
The original idea wasn't mine. It came from the publisher. They wanted a way to showcase some of the spiritual classics from the past on their list that they felt were relevant to today yet largely undiscovered. So their idea was to have someone write a humorous memoir of reading twelve spiritual classics. They chose me because they knew me and thought I was funny, and because I'm not Catholic and would approach the texts with fresh eyes, as someone who doesn't necessarily venerate the saints.
But I immediately said, "Well, I don't think it's very interesting to just read about someone else reading. I need to be doing something to correspond with each of these readings." So I devised a schedule of spiritual practices that would go with each month of 2009. For example, when I was reading about the Desert Fathers and Mothers, I would do some kind of rigorous ascetic practice. It wasn't long before the practices became the focus of the book and the readings became supplemental. And then it wasn't long before I just started failing. The book was not originally going to be about failure in any way. They wanted me to be an example! I felt like a fraud because I kept failing.
In November 2009, near the end of my project, my editor asked how it was going. I said, "Very badly." I was truly embarrassed to tell her because I felt I had not only failed at the practices but also failed at the tasks the publisher had set out for me to do.
She said, very wisely, "Make the book about that, about the reality of spiritual failure and how we try and fall short."
I wish I could say that I immediately embraced the idea and felt comfortable putting all my failure out there. But it was very hard to admit how shallow I can be and how distractible I am.
Now that the book is out and I'm hearing from readers, I'm realizing how universal this is. It's not only Mormons who struggle with failure. It's certainly not only me. I just got a tweet from a rabbi; I have heard from my many different kinds of Catholic and Protestant readers. I hadn't quite understood how universal this feeling is that we fall short.
Has the year changed the way you worship?
I came to a couple of realizations in the course of writing the book. One of them is that spiritual practices generally should be undertaken with other people. My idea of sitting down and trying these things individually was ill-advised, to put it gently. "Delusional" is the way I put it in the book.
Most spiritual practices originated in community. If you look at the history of fixed hour prayer or the Jesus Prayer, all of these originated in monastic communities. They can be adapted for individual use, but it's not how they were originally intended. So if I had it all to do over again, I would certainly try spiritual practices with other people.
The other thing I learned is that there are different spiritual practices for a reason. It is just not reasonable to expect that the same individual is going to resonate with contemplative prayer and active justice-making and lectio divina and fasting. That's absurd. And yet many of us expect that we're going to succeed equally at all of these practices. It's just not how God designed us.
There are so many different ways to worship God. I learned the hard way that I'm not so contemplative a person as I imagined I would be. For me sitting down with my own thoughts for twenty or thirty minutes was not a worshipful experience, whereas I certainly felt I was worshiping God when I practiced hospitality or generosity. Other people, however, thrive on contemplative practice and can't survive without it.
Another of your ongoing projects is to tweet the Bible. Can you tell me about that?
I've been doing it for just over two years now. It's a three and a half year project so I'm pretty well into it and God has not struck me down with lightning yet. (That's not to say it may not happen next year.) The project is to tweet out a chapter of the Bible with humorous commentary every day and to do the entire Bible, skipping nothing. One of the driving reasons behind this was that I feel very fussy about the canon as a whole and why we choose to privilege some parts of the Bible and completely ignore others. I do this. We all do this. Liberals do it by putting the words of Jesus in red letters as if that's the most important thing ever and conservatives do it by taking the Bible's two verses about homosexuality and saying that that's the most important thing in the Bible. All of us tend to ignore the Bible's very difficult standards of caring for the poor.
But the project is supposed to be funny. That's its primary purpose. And trying to make it sound all hoity-toity and important is anticipating expectations that are not fair to excite. I'm on Twitter as @janariess if anyone would like to follow the project.
A lot of your writing is humorous. Did you always see yourself as a humor writer?
I do think that humor is an enormously helpful coping mechanism in religion and in relationships, but I never used to think of myself as very funny. A few years ago I wrote a satirical blog post and I started hearing from people, "Oh, you're really funny!" That surprised me because in my family of origin I'm the least funny person. And my husband is one of the most hilarious people I've ever met. I never thought of myself as being particularly funny until well into my thirties.
Humor has a wonderful way of breaking down barriers between people and among groups. As I skirt around the periphery of many different religions, I would say that humor is a good part of that. I'm happy to be friends with anyone who can laugh at themselves.
Beginning seminary, you planned to devote much of your life to church work, but now your church work comes by assignment rather than as a job you choose. How has that shift felt for you?
Since I joined the Church, I've served in leadership in every auxiliary. I'm currently Primary secretary. I love the calling system. I think it's one of the genius elements of Mormonism. I love the concept that everyone has to do something, that people have to get their hands dirty. That's not religious; it's just basic organizational behavior: everyone involved in the organization is invested in the success of that organization. But the religious genius is that we are living out the theological ideal: we have of a priesthood of all believers.
I was thinking about this at our ward Christmas party. After dinner, it was very chaotic, kids running around, and my husband was so tired and just wanted peace and quiet, so he took our daughter and left. Totally understandable. But at the end of the night all the rest of us were staying to sweep the floor, put away the tables, portion out the leftovers. The whole evening was planned and executed by volunteer labor. It's amazing.
The other side of it, though, is that we could be using the calling system so much better than we are by paying attention to people's gifts more intentionally. We think about callings in terms of, what does the ward need right now? Or what does the ward need yesterday? There's an urgency to filling a space with anyone available, and that's not necessarily the healthiest approach in terms of recognizing people's gifts and helping them develop their gifts.
You talked about the realization you came to from working on Flunking Sainthood that religion is most satisfying when practiced with other people. Can you talk a bit about the role of community in Mormonism?
In Mormonism I wish we had more of an emphasis on communal spiritual practices rather than only individual devotion. Going off into a corner to pray or praying as a family is very important, of course. But when we as Mormons go to church we're not really there to worship. We're there to learn. We're expected to learn the basics in terms of information in Gospel Doctrine and then take that into our own homes.
We also don't pray as a group for each other. If someone's having a hard time, I'll say, "May I pray for you?" If she says yes, I pick up her hand and pray for her right there. Many Mormons find that really uncomfortable because it's just not part of our culture. Why is it not part of our culture? We're commanded to do that in scripture.
But one of the things that Mormons do well is community. I've thought about why our community is, frankly, superior to a lot of religious communities I've observed. That sounds chauvinistic but I firmly believe that one of the strokes of genius in the organization of our church is that we have this old-fashioned community model where we attend church based on geography and no other factor. When left to their own devices, people will tend to go to church where they're comfortable spiritually, politically, and socio-economically. But our wards are a mish-mash of people of every economic class and need, of every political extreme.
You don't find that model anywhere else in America today. It's unique. The Catholic model used to be very similar but Catholics have now decided, at least in the United States, that they can go to church wherever they like. We don't have that luxury in Mormonism.
Where I live in Cincinnati, my ward encompasses half of the urban core and part of suburbia. So there are people who are struggling terribly with poverty and there are people who live in Indian Hill, one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the United States, all in the same religious community. You never see that kind of radical economic diversity anywhere else. And it brings a completely different dynamic to that community.
When I was fairly new in the Church, I thought attending near where you lived was just something that people did. I didn't understand that I wouldn't be able to have a calling or a temple recommend if I didn't attend my home ward. So when I moved from Princeton, New Jersey to a small town outside of Lexington, Kentucky, I tried to go to church in Lexington so I could be part of a university community and have more in common with those I worshiped with. But it became very clear that if I wanted to have a calling that I needed to be involved in the ward where I lived. It turned out to be one of the greatest blessings of my life. I was forced to live in that community fully, to be completely invested. I found the people that I had so wrongly judged had so much to teach me.

I really loved this interview! As usual the questions were not your run-of-the-mill interview questions, but thoughtful and interesting! And Jana! You spoke to my heart – probably because I am not the culturally mormon ideal either! I appreciate your candid answers. Your honesty. I'm inspired and impressed and after reading this my own prayers are answered. Thank you Mormon Women!
4:45 pm on January 13th, 2012
Your book sounds like a very good read. I must point out, however, that we DO pray as a group for each other. We DO have communal worship. Because worship is so important and sacred, we do these things in the temple, away from distractions, so that more emphasis can be put on the worship.
11:47 am on January 15th, 2012
Jana, I look forward to following your tweets and seeking out your book. Gratitude for your thoughtfulness and insights shared.
8:08 pm on January 21st, 2012
Loved this interview!! Can't wait to read your book. Am also a Divinity school grad and attended as a first female Mormon student at the particular school. I do think LDS members in general would benefit from a better understanding of others' religious beliefs.
8:48 am on January 23rd, 2012
Fantastic interview. I love how when we get to know people we learn that they have so much more in common with us. Not a one of us is a culturally "ideal" Mormon, I'd like to see the end of that expectation. Or really much of any expectation. I'd like, "Loving Jesus and doing my personal best" to be the goal for Mormon women.
10:59 am on January 24th, 2012
Fascinating interview. As a ex-mormon I've come to understand how being raised in the church has really shaped me — all, in the end, in productive ways even if I have since chosen not to accept most of what I've been taught. Mine was a journey out – it's so fascinating for me to read about journey's IN – esp. when then are not quick and emotional conversions (which seem to happen more often). How to reconcile, though, all of the unpleasant aspects of church doctrine and church history. I find the church to be very 'all or nothing'. How can you be OF the church if you are not an 'all or nothing' person? It really does puzzle me. Thank you!
1:43 pm on January 25th, 2012
Someone else who loves "Be Thou My Vision"! I love that song. I have about a dozen different versions/performances on my iPod (even MoTab!), and I frequently listen to them all in one setting. It's an incredibly beautiful hymn.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. We appreciated your thoughts on how attending church based geographically helps us to step outside of our comfort zone and embrace the community around us. We too were excited to learn of your bible tweets, we can't wait to start following them. We share your enjoyment of humor and look forward to checking out your work.
2:14 pm on February 2nd, 2012
A very remarkable story. What was most interesting to me was that Jana didn't really address the beliefs of Mormonism that seemed to attract her. She was very much into the practices. Perhaps this was deliberate due to the audience. As a student of religion, I wonder how she has been able to find a way to coordinate her Protestant education (and husband) with her new Mornmon theology. It is very postmodern to pick and choose elements to construct a personal belief system, but I wonder if the Mormons will allow that?
12:18 pm on February 18th, 2012
Your candid interview reminds me just how intensely personal the journey of conversion is. And how on-going. The idea that we ever "arrive" some place in this life is probably an over-simplification.
9:22 am on April 8th, 2012
You just converted me to twitter. (I am already converted to Mormonism.) I will be checking out your tweets. Go girl!

What a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing.

I am in the middle of reading Flunking Sainthood and felt compelled to read about the author. I sensed a similar undercurrent of recognition in the places I have been and where I'm at right now, in life, in the writings of your book. My heart is touched when I recognize we all struggle, no matter what religion we practice. I have been given new insights into what my testimony is. Thank you…
12:18 am on July 9th, 2013
Jana! I think you are an amazing lady – down to earth and genuine. I loved getting to know your background and history a little better. Much success to you now and in the future!
10:10 am on July 10th, 2013
Wonderful insights in this article! I am a faithful Latter Day Saint who found the church and was baptized at the age of 15, 39 years ago. I have struggled deeply with some things over the years (mostly church history types of things) to the point that I was even less active for a short period of time. In my struggles, I feel I have been given this answer: this is where I feel the spirit so this is where I belong. That's what it comes down to, pure and simple. Everyone must find their own path to the spirit and some may not be able to feel the spirit in the LDS church any more than I could feel the spirit at a southern baptist service (just as an example). But we have no choice but to be true to where we feel the spirit; I feel The Lord would never count that against true seekers no matter where they end up. I know this is different from the typical LDS viewpoint (which is that this is the church for EVERYONE) but this personal revelation has allowed to to say "I feel the church is true" because I feel it is true for ME (not necessarily for someone else). I wonder if this makes me more of a universalist! This is where I feel the spirit, pure and simple…

Excerpt from Father, Son, and the Other One
What on earth is the Spirit doing today?
In-between is a hard place to live. Between the résumé and the job, between promise and fulfillment, between loss and the soul's healing. During these seasons of transition, we can find ourselves in a mess of ambiguity. We're not sure what our lives are going to look like when it's all said and done, but we're sure it will never look the way it did before the hurt—before the loss.
The Jews in Jesus' day were living between the way things were and the way things were supposed to be. Jesus' countrymen believed in a "two-age" system. The Gentiles—cruel, ruthless, merciless, tawdry pagans—dominated the present age. And they had been in control for a long time. The Jews were convinced that God was going to deliver them from this age through a sudden in-breaking of a new Kingdom age.
They thought the Messiah, when He finally came, would trounce the Gentiles like David had done the Philistines, like the Hasmonean boys—Judas, Jonathan, and Simon—had done to the Greeks a generation before them (165 B.C.). The Galileans naturally expected a conqueror who would reestablish the Davidic Kingdom forever, ushering in a new age of God's dominion and rule.
This is why Jesus' message of reconciliation for outsiders was so jarring.
His scandalous announcement that He'd come to save those foul and loathsome Gentiles started a riot in His hometown in Nazareth (Luke 4). These are the same Jews who watched their sons and husbands and fathers suspended between earth and sky, affixed to crosses littering the hillsides in a gruesome display of Roman brutality.
Outrageous! Appalling!
Jewish Messiahs don't reach out to Gentiles—they exact their vengeance. Israel's…no…God's vengeance.
Let's see how this homegrown "Savior" feels about the Gentiles after He bounces down the bluffs and crags of Nazareth.
The Messiah as a "great light for those in darkness" was not their vision. Not by a mile.
But Jesus insisted that He was everyone's Christ, not just theirs. The coming of the Spirit signaled that God's new Kingdom age had broken into our fallen world. And while it didn't put an end to this age, it did signal that this era—this epoch—is on its way out. God was gracious enough to send us His Spirit in the middle of our mess. So we live between the times—between the old order of things and the day when Jesus will consummate His Kingdom and put an end to the corrupt governments and the crooked enterprises of men.
Part Two will address what the Spirit is doing in this in-between time. Now that we've established that He is a Person who is indispensible to our lives, we want to focus on what He's up to. We'll discover that life in the Spirit should be characterized by the attending phenomena, or the manifestations of the Spirit. A manifestation is a visible expression of an inward reality. It is this aspect of the Spirit's work that can sometimes make us uncomfortable. The Spirit wants to equip us in this already-but-not-yet Kingdom so that we may serve others in His resurrection power and so that we may be formed into the image of Jesus.
The Spirit Is Our Inheritance
Part of receiving an inheritance is that you have to know it's there in order to receive it. You can be sent letters about it (the Bible), but if you don't open them up and read them, you won't know what it is you've inherited. And you won't know what to do to possess it.
—Stormie Omartian, Lead Me, Holy Spirit
My friends Steve and Barb once sent out a postcard inviting the neighbors to the church where they pastored. The postcard read, "Less Nod, More God." The direct mailer didn't get much traction, but the creative phrase has always stuck with me.
By all accounts, we live in a bored nation.1 Did you know that 91 percent of all young adults say they experience boredom regularly?2 A full 70 percent of us frequently use our cell phones to stave off boredom.3 Surprisingly, many Christians wonder if heaven will be boring. It seems as though Isaac Asimov's fear has seeped into our collective consciousness: "For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse."4
Boredom is the scourge of a culture that is preoccupied with self-interests. Indeed, our founding documents supply a guarantee for the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. Freedom from tyranny and the chance to pursue one's destiny is the hallmark of the American experience. At the time our founding documents were written, the only alternative to the right to pursue happiness and personal freedom was vassalage to some unworthy despot. In a sense, the potential for personal happiness and satisfaction is our national birthright. It's our brand. In and of itself, there's nothing wrong with that.
Yet the American experience has been hijacked by the pursuit of self. In his book, Still Bored in a Culture of Entertainment: Rediscovering Passion and Wonder, Rich Winter documents the major contributors to boredom in our nation over the last two centuries: 1) the emergence of the cult of leisure, and 2) the decline of a self-less Christian ethos.5 Our contemporary society has made it possible for us to spend our lives pursuing our hobbies and interests. This has resulted in a kind of disposable culture: Don't like that dull marriage? Then trade it in for an exciting new one. Don't want the onerous burden of a job? Then by all means become a freeloading parasite to society. Are the responsibilities of kids and bills cramping your style? Then swap them out for a lifestyle that fits your needs.
Most Americans have bought the lie that our highest priority in life is our immediate gratification. It is hedonism disguised in the respectable apparel of personal ambition and self-realization. But at the moment we bow to this idol of self-actualization, we become subjects to an awful tyrant. Ironically, we proclaim ourselves "free" from behind the steel rods of our self-made prisons. We declare ourselves "enlightened" when we are really the dumbest of fools. We are thin, gaunt, emaciated shadows of our Garden-selves. We have the faint likeness of heaven but not its presence. And more good news: New technologies designed to enhance our "sense experience" are rushing into existence and are being forced into the service of this bored-out-of-its-mind, overindulged self-god.
The downside to a culture where the unbridled pursuit of happiness is married to unlimited sensate technologies is that we have become inoculated from God and thus to wonder. We are lurching toward oblivion on autopilot. Numb. Dazed. Bored stiff in the middle of a verdant garden well stocked with the miraculous—a world dazzling and beautiful but damaged and broken. Like a defaced Rembrandt, or Michelangelo's sculpture of David, marred and splotched with graffiti. Perhaps we are the ones that have been damaged. Our sight has been diminished. No longer can we see the glory of God in a glorious world. We are irked by the resplendent, annoyed by the extraordinary.
This is just part of our fallen human nature.
For example, I remember the first time I ever flew on a jet plane. All of my senses were alive during that first flight. My pulse quickened as the plane taxied and picked up speed. My stomach leapt as the jet climbed skyward. I took forty pictures of the tops of clouds that day. A century before the automobile, people thought if you travelled at 60 mph you'd fly apart. And there I was, hurtling through the air in a metal tube at 500 mph, six miles high. The thought of sleeping through that seemed crazy to me. No way!
That was twenty-five years ago. Now when I fly, smwock—in go the earplugs, back goes the seat, down goes the Dramamine, and it's snoozeville all the way. I'm sure I'll rediscover the wonder of flight if and when I ever take my first commercial trip to outer space. But soon after my tenth trip outside the thermosphere, I'll be too busy to be awestruck by space. I'll have more important things to do such as typing away on my holographic keyboard.
And so I bounce from one conquered hill to the next. And every hill reminds me that the pursuit is over and so I must cue up another finish line. We spend our lives contriving new challenges so that we can stay interested. Pretty soon, I'll think a smartphone is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. I'll wonder how we ever used those archaic little touch screens. Though we are wired for innovation, it's all meaningless without God at the center of it.
The cure for a bored, overindulged life is God. Knowing and seeing the value of the Spirit deposited in our hearts is the key to revving up a wonder-less existence. We can see God's creation with fresh eyes when the Spirit is present. We're less likely to nod off and miss the point of life the more we allow God's Spirit to be at the center of our endeavors and the focal point of our passions.
We need an old-fashioned epiphany. A sudden in-breaking of the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. The Spirit is our first inheritance. We were made to be filled, transformed, and surrounded by His presence. Everything about a fish's life—catching food, mating, pitching and darting with the school—can only make sense when he is surrounded and engulfed with water. And nothing about our lives—nothing else we were born to do—makes sense until we are deluged by the Spirit. Until we live and move and have our being in Him, our glorious inheritance in the saints.
Just as the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness is the American birthright, so, too, is the Spirit the inheritance, the heritage of the believer.
In this chapter, we'll tease out what it means for the Spirit to be our inheritance. We'll discover that the Spirit enables us to know God and to discover the incomparable power of resurrection life. Paul told the Ephesian Christians:
When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession…. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which [God] has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.
—Ephesians 1:13–14, 17–18
The Spirit had made them participants in God's holy family, and Paul prayed that God would enlighten them—open their eyes to the rich and full life of the Spirit. But how often do we walk around with our eyes glued shut to the fullness of the Spirit's inheritance? How often are we unaware of the value of the One whom God has placed within us? The Spirit wants to take off our blinders and rev up our humdrum lives. My friends Steve and Barb were right: More God—less nod.
Fullness of the Spirit starts with knowing God. Paul prayed that the Ephesians would be given the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, that they would know God better (1:17). And knowing God is a fundamentally intelligible thing. It isn't rocket science. That is, since we were creatures made for Him, loving Him should be second nature for us. Knowing God through the Spirit comes naturally as we consider the evidence for God in nature and through direct revelation of the Spirit to our spirit. The first thing the Spirit does in this in-between era is to reveal the God of wonders to us.
We know God through indirect evidence. Jesus said to the rabbinic pundits embedded in His crowd, "But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins…" (Matt. 9:6). Then He told the lame man to get up and walk. In other words, Jesus called their attention to the evidence. On another occasion, Jesus challenged the pious Jews that if they couldn't believe His lofty claims, then they should at least believe the irrefutable evidence of His miracles (John 10:36–38).
After Jesus rose from the dead, the Scripture says that He showed the disciples "many convincing proofs" in order to confirm their faith (Acts 1:3). Additionally, Luke described Paul's primary method of evangelism as proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ as he often "reasoned with them" (Acts 17:2). When Paul made his case to the Romans, he appealed to the obvious revelation of God in nature (Romans 1:19).
Our knowledge of God is based in evidence though it is not bound by evidence. And the Spirit is the key to this. Paul stated, "But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means (1 Cor 2:14, NLT). "The un-Spiritual mind cannot grasp the things of the Spirit." Paul was referring to the revelation the Spirit gives us concerning the truth. The first thing the Spirit enables us to do is to recognize God through the miraculous: the effects of creation and supernatural signs and wonders. The Spirit gives you new eyes so that you can "wise up" to God's activity. This is the "Spirit of wisdom" that Paul prayed the Ephesians would know.
We know God through direct revelation. Philosopher William Lane Craig is the greatest living defender of the Christian faith today, having debated prolific atheists all over the world. Dr. Craig presents a cumulative case for God's existence based on the evidence from philosophy, science, and religious knowledge. Yet Dr. Craig maintains that it is primarily the witness of the Spirit that convinces men of the truth.6 There is no greater evidence for God than God Himself.
This is why Paul told the Ephesians that he prayed that they would receive the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, that they may know God better (Eph. 1:17). Referring to the Holy Spirit, Jesus promised that rivers of living water would flow from within the believer (John 7:37–38). The Spirit's internal witness is veridical and phenomenological, meaning it's a real and direct experience of God's Spirit.
Our first priority as believers is to know God intellectually, experientially, and personally. Our inheritance as believers is the knowledge of God through the evidence in creation and the direct revelation of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit gives us the wisdom to see God's fingerprints in creation and gives a personal disclosure of His truth. Before the Spirit does anything else in our lives, He opens the eyes of our hearts that we may know God. Knowing God is the only cure to an otherwise flaccid, rhythmless, uninspired existence.
G.K. Chesterton once stated, "Hope is the power of being cheerful in circumstances we know to be desperate."7 After knowing their God through the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, Paul prayed that the Ephesians would know their hope (Eph. 1:18). Hope is a confident expectation of better days in the face of evidence to the contrary. And the Spirit-redeemed heart has an amazing capacity for hope.
Paul put it this way to Pastor Titus: "We wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13). Jesus Himself is our hope. When He appears He will complete His work by transforming us into an incorruptible state (1 Cor. 15). And the Spirit was the key to this confident expectation. Paul wrote, "For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope" (Gal. 5:5). The Spirit gives us courage in the midst of a messed-up world. Paul's prayer for the Ephesians was that the Spirit would give them a confident expectation of better days. A hope that is imperishable and impenetrable. It is a hope that cannot be diminished by the onslaught of trying events—broken promises, temporary failure, or attacks from the enemy. This Spirit-inspired hope is part of our birthright as believers, and it is foreign to those who do not have the Spirit.
The key to this hope is our inheritance—the very presence of God in our hearts. Paul used the metaphor of a "deposit," or an installment, guaranteeing the future completion of a transaction that starts now (Eph. 1:18). It's as if the Spirit is the earnest payment, ensuring the final transformation that Jesus is holding for us in escrow. And the Spirit is the agent of our transformation—partially now and fully then.
Back when my wife and I were renters, we would occasionally house-sit for some friends who lived in an upscale gated community. Our friends recommended us to their neighbor, Dr. Roberts. Dr. Roberts was retired and his house looked like a sprawling mansion to me. We were glad to help him out and agreed to be freeloading squatters for a few weeks.
One of the items on my checklist for Dr. Roberts's house was to go around and lock up all the windows and double-check all the doors. So after dinner the first night, I made my rounds and found my way down to the basement. I flipped on the light switch and peeked through the basement door window—that's when I saw it. I spotted an old chipboard guitar case on top of a large pile of random stuff in the middle of the room. Chipboard is nothing more than painted fiberboard or cardboard. You typically don't put an expensive solid wood spruce and rosewood guitar in a flimsy case like that. Chipboard cases are reserved for your $50 plywood guitar. Not a handcrafted work of fine luthiery.
So I assumed whatever was inside Dr. Roberts's old case wasn't of much value. But being a guitar guy, I just had to peek.
I popped the latches and lifted the lid and could not believe what I was looking at. There, inside, was a vintage pre-war Martin guitar in fabulous condition. The Martin Company invented the steel string acoustic guitar. I knew enough to know that the gem inside of the chipboard case was worth somewhere around $10,000 to the right collector.
I called Dr. Roberts to ask him some questions about the old treasure.
"Do you know what it's worth?"
"Well. No. Honestly, Jeff, I don't know anything about guitars and that one has just been in the family for a while."
What he said next floored me. "Jeff, how would you like to take that guitar as partial payment for helping out with the place?"
"What? Um. Dr. Roberts, I appreciate that. But this guitar isn't worth a few hundred bucks. It's probably worth thousands of dollars. This guitar is a family heirloom. You'll want to keep something like this in your family and pass it on to your kids someday."
He thought for a moment and replied, "Well. I think you're probably right then."
Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they received the promise of the Father. The Holy Spirit is the promise God made to Abraham to restore the world and set it right. The Spirit is our inheritance (Gal. 3:14, 18). And an inheritance belongs to the children. He is the birthright of those who by faith have embraced the world's true Messiah—Jesus.
Before Jesus, the promise of resurrection was thought to only be for the Jews. No pagan believed in bodily resurrection anyway. But unique to Christianity was the teaching that Jesus, the perfect Jew, had already resurrected. The resurrection hope that the Jewish nation believed was their inheritance at the end of the world had already begun in the risen Messiah. He fulfilled their symbols, their sacred structures, and their Scriptures (Matt. 5:17). And now He has summoned the nations to worship Him as the vindicated, resurrected Lord.
But Christians taught that all who were born into this new family by the Spirit, both Jew and Gentile, would participate in this resurrection at the end of the world. So the Spirit is our promise that we have been spliced into the vine (Rom. 9) and that we have received the inheritance of the saints—eternal life with God.
This is why Paul can say to the Ephesians, "For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father" (Eph. 2:18). We participate in Israel's hope of future resurrection because we have been made "fellow citizens" being built into a holy temple of the Lord by the Spirit. Our future resurrection is a sure thing. You can bet on it. And God's Spirit vouchsafes that future event. Paul stated that he wanted your eyes to be opened "in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people" (Eph. 1:18). The Spirit is the opening act—He's the first installment of our future transformation.
In addition to knowing the hope that was their inheritance of future salvation, Paul prayed that the Ephesians would know "his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms" (Eph. 1:19–20).
Did you catch that? The same power that raised Jesus is available to the believer. It isn't just a future expectation; it's power for the here and now. It's the Spirit's power. This is part of our inheritance in the saints.
I like the way Paul put it to the Corinthian Christians: "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us" (2 Cor. 4:7). This treasure, God's Spirit, is housed in a chipboard people—people who often aren't aware that they are carriers of a most contagious and precious thing. This is an unnerving aspect of our redemption—that the third member of the Trinity inhabits such brokenness. Such frail and ruined vessels are we. God wants us to live in the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead.
That power can raise a failing marriage, it can rescue your rebellious children, and it can resurrect your ruined character.
It can heal your body, right your finances, and mend your broken mind.
That power can also give you a supernatural patience to wait in the face of agonizing delays.
The Spirit is the power of God's Kingdom to continue Jesus' work in this world—the work of healing, speaking God's truth, and bringing grace to the bedraggled masses of humanity.
When I was a kid I went to change the bulb in the lamp on my desk, not realizing that the bulb had been broken. I accidentally touched the filament and innards of the broken bulb. I recall briefly feeling as though worms were crawling through my veins at the speed of light. For half a second, I couldn't pull my hand away from the lamp. It felt like forever. It had me in its grip. Then I found myself flat on my back. I thought I was going to die. My dad found me on the floor, picked me up, and took me to the living room to keep an eye on me.
I know what power feels like—raw, scorching, knocking-you-on-your-butt kind of power. Power is a good thing when properly harnessed. It can turn on your lights, start your car engine, and get your plane off the runway. Paul's prayer for the Church was that they know the incomparable power of God. This untamable and unruly power would flow through their prayers, their symbols, and their worship. We've already established that the Spirit is a Person, but make no mistake about it: He is also the power of God. Our inheritance doesn't just involve a future hope of resurrection. It is God's power for living now. Our transformation starts in this life.
We live in this tension: As believers, we have inherited a new world, a new power, the Spirit of God Himself. Yet we live in a world that is broken through sin. And contrary to the American ethos, we do not find our significance through unrestrained self-gratification. We find it, rather, as the Spirit enables us to know our God, to grasp the hope of our inheritance, and to live in Christ's power today.
The inheritance is for the children. And the treasure occupies a chipboard people with squeaky joints and rusted latches. That inheritance is the restored presence of God and the restored place for humanity in the Father's household. This is the promise of our transformation. And to all those who believed on Him, to those who received Him He gave the power—the right, the authority—to become the children of God (John 1:12).
