I'm halfway there ... now, it's a matter of that "Divine" part ...

Divine Nobodies is a must read!

What a refreshing weekend read! Involving Christianity--nay, JESUS CHRIST himself--in your own life through everyday interaction with other people--as opposed to along the lines of the prescribed regulations of some belief system--Christianity or not! This was as good a read as I've experienced in quite a while.

As we all can easily (perhaps, perhaps not) learn from the New Testament, Jesus and his followers did their teaching out in the street and pretty much wherever they found themselves in that amazing First Century. And definitely with those lost souls with whom they seemed to bump into wherever.

And like Jim Palmer's "Divine Nobodies," most (save Jesus Himself) were "nobody" special in the bigger scheme of things in the former Roman Empire--just people who met other people's needs and happened to be there when the need arose.

One thing that made this book special was the author's (Jim Palmer's) exposure of his own vulnerabilities naked and bleeding for all to see and with which to relate.

Powerful stuff and yes, I believe it was "good for my soul," whatever that used to mean in my own Roman Catholic upbringing.
