The Next Story – I believe this is the last day you can order The Next Story ebook at the heavily discounted price. So don’t dawdle.

    Of all the Christian disciplines, it is my guess that meditation may be the least practiced—though I suppose fasting might have something to say about that. Most people diligently make time to read the Bible and pray. And yet, while most people have good intentions when it comes to meditation, it so often seems to…
