No contract signed yet, but Baker Book House has given a verbal "yes" to Love and the Knowledge of Good and Evil (a book I wrote on last year when we were all hashing through the issue). They've also agreed to publish Experiencing Jesus (a revision of a book I wrote 12 years ago but never published. It's on praying with the imagination). They still considering The Jesus Dilemma: Lord of Legend? (a book I'm coauthoring with Paul Eddy refuting the view that the Jesus story is legendary). What about the three-years-coming Myth of the Blueprint?: I'm working on it, but its a BEAR. Is God to Blame? is scheduled to be released in October.

PRAISE GOD! I bet you are excited.
Hey, not ALL of us were hashing through the issue a year ago-- some of us are "slower" at sorting it through I guess. I only recently hashed through it but then again a year ago I was dealing with a reputation

ALLELUIA! That book has been a powerful tool to use in ministry.
The title changed? I recall there being controversy on the other title "Seeing Jesus" I can't begin to tell you how helpful cataphatic prayer has been in working with people! The book will be a blessing for many more now that it will be published. 
I'm happy for you!

That's great! I've often thought of the impact l&kge could have on the readers who first encounter it. The college student, the sem student, the curious seeker, someone looking for a new way to "do" life etc. It's simple and profound message will introduce Jesus' heart and offer transformation to many (and on many levels). very cool.
Very cool also how it came about. God is good.
United in the center,
love

In writing " Love and the Knowledge of Good and Evil," did any of the stuff hashed out on the threads make it into the book? That is, did any of the participants respond to something you said and then you went back and rewrote a section, etc? Basically, did the thread influence any of the writing of the book?

| Posted 5/27/2003 5:02 AM (GMT -6) | | Congrats Doc! That is great news. Your work has had huge impact on our family. After my mother read The God of the Possible, she said, even though she was brought up in the Lutheran church, Missouri Synod,(in MN) she has always believed and lived what you described as the "open view." We even had a family member saved, due in part to "Letters from a Skeptic." I have no doubt these new books will be equally powerful. "Experiencing Jesus" has already revolutionized the prayer lives of many, and it's not even published yet! Can we get reduced rates on bulk orders?
You da man,
Blessings,
Springs

| Posted 5/27/2003 5:21 AM (GMT -6) | | That's so great, Greg. Kaia and I have burned your L&KGE sermon series onto a set of CDs, so we can listen to them frequently. The truth in this stuff is paradigm-shifting. Can't wait to read the book!

| Posted 5/27/2003 12:27 PM (GMT -6) | | Oh you guys are so sweet.  Thanks for sharing in the excitement. I feel closer to you'll all than I've ever felt to psuedonyms on the internet before, seriously 
Just got word today that they've agreed to publish The Jesus Dilemma: Lord or Legend?. YEH
thanks
Greg
BBB, Pierce said that all individuals who come up with ideas are the tip of a group-thought iceberg. He was certainly right. This exchanges on this board have certainly contributed to Love and the Knowledge as well as many other areas of my thought -- though not necessarily, or usually, in direct one-to-one ways that are obvious to discern.
By the way, in the forthcoming [i}Is God to Blame I sight this cyber community as contributing greatly to the thoughts expressed therein. BUT DON'T ASK FOR A SLICE OF THE ROYALITIES (they're all pledge away to the Youth Center!)

What a heart! I think you should have that posted somewhere at the bookstore so people will be apt to buy more than one copy to support the youth center while at the same time sharing the knowledge with many others. Is God To Blame sounds interesting too. Can't wait to read the book!
Again Congratulations! Doc, bless you for your heart.

Totally understand. The noetic web of thought is very complex indeed. Dude, I look forward to getting L&KGE. So when will that be on the shelves?
