![[present perfect] @greg_boyd's closing thoughts](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/greg-boyd-100x100.jpg)
I’d first like to begin by expressing a heartfelt word of appreciation to all who wrote chapter reviews of Present Perfect. They were clear, thoughtful and inspiring. Thank you! Are you awake? I am becoming increasingly convinced that Brother Lawrence was absolutely right when he maintained that Practicing the Presence of God is not only [...]

I’ve shared this video before. But if you’ve been following along with the group blogging project on Present Perfect by Greg Boyd, then you’ll understand why I want to share it again. Throughout this project, one theme that keeps recurring is that… God. Is. Here. . FOLLOW THE PROJECT | BUY THE BOOK

Years ago, I used to think God was found under the steeple, at the communion rail, and in the liturgy. And yes, of course, He is very much present in the church. But oh, let me never again forget that He is also very much present in me – common, ordinary me. Our ever-present God [...]
[present perfect] chapter 6: being present
![[present perfect] chapter 6: being present](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/OurTown-100x100.jpg)
“No moment is trivial since each one contains a divine kingdom, and heavenly sustenance.” – -J.P. de Caussade When flipping through Greg Boyd’s book Present Perfect I was immediately drawn to the title of this chapter, Being Present. We live in a day where our situational awareness seems to be at an all time low [...]

Perfection has lost its perfection. The word perfection is one of those words that has lost its meaning. Things like: This is perfect…Find the perfect fit…The perfect way to lose weight It seems the word perfect can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. In a society that wants to [...]
[present perfect] chapter 4: single-mindedness
![[present perfect] chapter 4: single-mindedness](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/cruise-control-100x100.jpg)
Autopilot, cruise control, and preprogramming are generally useful things. Autopilot flies planes more safely, cruise control makes your car go without any effort on your part and preprogramming can be a lifesaver when it comes to changing the radio station in your car. It can also enslave you, your mind and your soul. This chapter [...]
[present perfect] chapter 3: chasing the sun
![[present perfect] chapter 3: chasing the sun](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/hourglass_cropped-100x100.jpg)
Free us to let go of the world that is fading away and to cling only to you. As I read this chapter I thought about an hourglass – our lives here on earth are similar to that old fashioned timer – the top isn’t getting any fuller, it’s only getting smaller. Our time here [...]
[present perfect] chapter 2: finding home

Present Perfect, you had me at opening each chapter with quotes and prayers that read like poetry, leaping from the page and taking up residence in the mind and heart. Then you reeled me in further with the recurrent post-its urging me to ask myself, “Are you awake?” Oh, how I need that question to [...]
[present perfect] chapter 1: mere christianity
![[present perfect] chapter 1: mere christianity](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/I210-I57-freeways-100x100.jpg)
To get the full flavor of what this chapter entitled: “Mere Christianity” talks about I must take a moment to go back to the introduction of the book and share the experience of the author, Gregory A Boyd. As Boyd is running along a serene lake side road a couple of sounds stir him from [...]
[present perfect] introduction
![[present perfect] introduction](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/gods-window-100x100.jpg)
Are you awake? I have a feeling that’s a question that we’ll hear a lot of over the next few weeks. If you aren’t familiar with what we mean by that yet, then let me help you out. It’s a question that Greg Boyd asks throughout his book Present Perfect: Finding God in the Now. [...]
group blogging project: present perfect
What does it mean to be in the presence of God? Is it something that we can experience today? If so, what does it look like? How do we get there? Theologian, pastor, and author Greg Boyd helps us to explore these kinds of question in his recent book, Present Perfect: Finding god in the Now. [...]
