WALT'S BLOG

Posted by Walt Mueller on 7/28/2014
The other day I discovered a large bank of full bookshelves at the back corner of an indoor flea market. They were a running a special. . . ten books for ten bucks! Dangerous for me. I walked out with some great old stuff, including a copy of Paul Tournier's 1963 book, The Adventure of Living. Tournier was a swiss psychologist who wrote many fascinating books bringing together Christian faith and the social sciences...
