Scribere Orare Erat

In 2004 a young Bible Major at a small evangelical liberal arts college in Michigan packed up all his belongings and moved to Texas. He thought he was going to pursue a Master of Divinity degree and start a career as a minister in the conservative Churches of Christ (a cappella). However during his sojourn in West Texas he became increasingly disillusioned in his church tradition and began searching for an expression of Christianity that was more ancient. In a stone church in Abilene Texas he discovered just that. Though it initially seemed like a 180 degree change from the tradition in which he was raised he discovered within his new tradition the home he had always sought. Edited from his blog entries over the course of six years this book tells the story of searching finding and unexpected return.
