Hard to Believe? Biblical Authority and Evangelical Feminism
From Al Mohler: Anne Eggebroten visited Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, and what she found there shocked her. As a matter of fact, she was so shocked that she wrote about that experience in the July 2010 edition of Sojourners magazine.

In regards to the article on The Shack:
Of course, he could have never written the book and saved a lot of people from reading misinformed theology and a feel-good feeling. Then he wouldn’t have to worry about royalties at all.
Disclaimer: I’m not bashing The Shack so much as the nonsense that arises from people reading it. Similar to The Da Vinci Code in my book.
