A basic Christian claim is that God is active in human history to accomplish his purpose, which he will do in the end. This book considers some of the implications of this far-reaching claim.

If we did not speak to our spouse daily, how much would we know about her/him?

Epperly takes this beyond the merely material, and teaches how to declutter our minds and spirits as well. Spiritual decluttering is more than a passing fad! In clearing the clutter of our lives, we...
