Winn Collier has written "A Burning in my Bones" the authorized biography of Pastor Eugene Peterson, who is the man probably best known for creating The Message translation of the Bible. In my conversation with Winn, we meaningfully discuss the man, Eugene, and some key ways that made him who he was. We can't do more than scratch the surface of all that's covered in this remarkable book, but we touch some important pieces, some of the impetus and process of this enormous four-year authorized biography project, and how Peterson and his family uniquely touched Winn's life. Enjoy and share!

Today is a conversation with KJ Ramsey about her book "This Too Shall Last: Finding Grace When Suffering Lingers". KJ is a licensed professional therapist and someone who also lives with a painful and debilitating chronic illness since young adulthood. Her empathy and wisdom are hard-won. I first found KJ on Twitter—like a candle in a dark room—and delving into her work has been a true treasury of insights, hope, and kindness.
