Stephanie, I am so sorry for your loss, yet so encouraged by the beauty of the celebration of Chris' life through the beautiful diversity of the heart.

I will purchase your book with joyful anticipation!

Noting some similarities in your Blog to Dr. Michael Heiser's many narratives on his most notable book "The Unseen Realm". Any comments how you might distinguish or align to his?
