Kay Warren had a plan! Together with her husband, Rick Warren, author of the megaseller The Purpose Driven Life, she planned that after her kids were grown, she’d travel the world, teaching and encouraging couples in ministry. It was a good plan. But it wasn’t what God had in mind for her.
In a startling wake-up call, Kay discovered the shocking realities of the AIDS pandemic in Africa while reading a magazine. She cried out to God, “Why are you bothering me with this? There’s nothing I can do about it. I’m just an ordinary person. What could one person do about such a gigantic problem?” That began the struggle—first to avoid God’s call and then to surrender herself to God.
Giving in to God isn’t easy. It’s not for cowards. It’s the boldest, riskiest step you’ll ever take. This dangerous surrender can bring both joy and pain, both heartache and ecstasy, but it enables you to know God in a far deeper way than ever before. A rare book by an uncommon woman, Dangerous Surrender will shake, challenge, and stretch you to become more than you’ve ever imagined. Your world is waiting.

After six months, she finally did go in. Through the group, she found forgiveness, hope, and healing in Jesus. Today she co-leads a post-abortion support group at Saddleback Church. READ MORE ...
Turning 345 doesn't mean you have to show your age – just ask First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, Queens.
The same church that once harbored Connecticut Yankee soldiers during the Civil War is now celebrating its 345th anniversary by welcoming hundreds of students through the church's doors for leadership training and to hang out in the bowling alley or on the basketball court. Weekday Bible studies meet in the same building as a soup kitchen, clothing closet, and 12-step programs. The nation's oldest continuously serving Presbyterian congregation is also continuing work on a $7.5 million family resource center on the church grounds.
