Miller, D (2003) Blue like Jazz - Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality..1/4

I came to realize that I had judged all Christians on the personalities of a few. That was frightening for me, too, because it had been so easy just to dismiss Christians as nuts, but here was Nadine. I didn't have a category for her. pp46Miller, D (2003) Blue like Jazz - Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality
