Episode 14 with Brian Zahnd Apr 05, 2012

Show notes

Brian Zahnd is a full-time pastor, an erstwhile author, and a would-be mountaineer. He is the lead pastor of Word of Life Church in Saint Joseph, Missouri. He is also the author of several books, most recently "Beauty Will Save the World", "Unconditional", and "What To Do On The Worst Day Of Your Life". We discuss his book Unconditional at length as well has Brian's love for mountain climbing and Bob Dylan music. Below is an description of his book: Unconditional? Unconditional?: The Call of Jesus to Radical Forgiveness By Brian Zahnd, Foreward By Miroslav Volf In a world where the ugliness of rage and retaliation are driving the story line, Unconditional? offers the beauty, reconciliation, and total restoration of forgiveness the way Jesus taught us to live it. More than just another biblical exposition, this book begins with the horror of the Holocaust as it explores what forgiveness means — and how far it should go — in the real world of murder, rape, child abuse, genocide, and other atrocities. With unusual honesty, compassion, and depth, Zahnd incorporates some of the most compelling and difficult thoughts on the subject from history’s writers, philosophers, and theologians — always returning to the example Jesus gave us with his life and his death.

Episode 8: Michael Card Feb 25, 2012

On Episode #8 Rick welcomes Christian musician and author Michael Card. In a career that has spanned 30 years, Michael has recorded over 31 albums and authored or co-authored over 21 books, hosted a radio program, and written for a wide range of magazines. While he has penned such favorites as “El Shaddai”, “Love Crucified Arose”, and “Emmanuel,” He never imagined selling more than 4 million albums or writing over 19 #1 hits. The popularity of his work seemed a stark contrast to his goal in life, to simply and quietly teach the Bible. Michael is releasing a new book and companion CD on the Gospel of Mark. We talk about it on today's episode of "Voices In My Head". You can find out more about Michael Card at www.MichaelCard.com and by visiting the Biblical Imagination with Michael Card Facebook page.
