Author Louis Jones began to wonder why his attempts to be more outgoing were met with failure and frustration. It was at this time that he discovered in prayer that God did not make him to be that way. God made him to be quiet, contemplative, and oriented to time alone. This revelation resulted in the book Wallflowers in the Kingdom. The book details his experiences as an introvert, and draws upon those experiences to make the case that introverts are created that way by God and are import...

le dialogue commence ... J’ai entendu pleurer ton cœur. J’ai vu chercher ton âme. Je sais à quel point tu as désiré la Vérité. Tu en as crié de douleur et de joie. Sans fin tu M’as imploré : montre-moi, explique-moi, révèle-moi Qui je suis. Je le fais ici, en termes si clairs que tu ne pourras mal les comprendre, en un langage si simple que tu ne pourras t’y perdre, en un vocabulaire si ordinaire que tu ne pourras t’égarer dans le verbiage. Alors, vas-y. Demande-Moi tout. Tout. Je tâcherai...

Le dialogue s’approfondit … Tu es une partie de Dieu. C'est la vérité de ton être. Nous sommes Un. Cette vérité a été une nourriture pour l'âme affamée. Prends-la, et nourris-toi d'elle. Le monde a été assoiffé de cette joie. Prends-la, et apaise ta soif. Fais-le en souvenir de moi. Car la vérité est le corps, et la joie le sang, de Dieu, qui est amour. Vérité. Joie. Amour. Voilà trois qualités interchangeables. L’une mène aux autres, et peu importe dans quel ordre elles apparaissent, tout...

Le dialogue continue … ... ce changement de paradigme exigera une grande sagesse, un grand courage et une détermination massive. Car la Peur va frapper au coeur de ces concepts et les qualifier de faux. La Peur va dévorer le coeur de ces magnifiques vérités et les fera paraître vides. La Peur va déformer, dédaigner, détruire. Ainsi, la Peur sera votre plus grand ennemi. Vous ne pourrez vivre dans, ni même créer, le monde dont vous avez toujours rêvé si vous ne reconnaissez pas, avec sagess...

Book One was a bit depressing; heavy, hard to look at, like eyes squinting into a fierce headwind.However here, in Book Two, there’s Hope. Not of the flaccid, fingers crossed, all comes out in the wash variety. Its a sober, just the facts, take it to the bank kind of Hope.Purposely not produced for Professors or Pastors; Book Two leans Proletariat.Not a commentary, certainly not a text book. The execution is more approachable, more relatable. The type that encourage...

The Story of Everything kicked off with Part One: What in the World is Wrong with the World? This naturally begs the question(and the book): What in the World is Right with the World? That’s Part TwoWrong and Right; the moral compass dichotomy, a seemingly endless Mobius Strip. Except it’s not. Cue Part Three: What in the World is Left of the World?In the directional sense, the opposite of Right is Left and there is certain...

Can Everything be reduced to a single story? And, if it can, is it wise to say so? If it’s true, it is. How much is there in an Everything? Quite a bit. Today, the idea that anything could be everything is both insulting and terrifying. Insulted that it’s possible, yet terrified it might be true.Story began life as a slideshow, presented across a dozen, dozen live sessions. Converting those into ...

There can be few more mesmerising historical narratives than the story of how the dazzlingly confident and secure monarchy Louis XIV, 'the Sun King', left to his successors in 1715 became the discredited, debt-ridden failure toppled by Revolution in1789. The further story of the bloody unravelling of the Revolution until its seizure by Napoleon is equally astounding.Colin Jones' brilliant new book is the first in 40 years to describe the whole period. Jones' key point in this gripp...
