God’s power revisited…..

Interesting book that I want to read.....http://goo.gl/tKqgpN A recent book by Thomas Jay Oord that presents God’s love as non-controlling has me thinking about how we might imagine this idea at its fullest extension.

The article gets pretty complicated but that is my understanding of it in a nutshell....
