Wow, time flies so fast! My wife and I are so thankful there is no ubf chapter there :) To celebrate this back to school season, I have three gifts for you!

First, to celebrate the new semester, all three of my books that detail my journey of recovery from UBFism are FREE on Kindle this week, from 9/1 to 9/5.

Rest Unleashed: The Raven Narratives – FREE
Goodness Found: The Butterfly Narratives – FREE
Unexpected Christianity: The Penguin Narratives – FREE

Second, my new book, Identity Snatchers, is being published this weekend! I want to express my gratitude for numerous former and current members who helped shape this book. The book is my attempt to deconstruct UBFism and to redeem my personal identity.

Third, here is an incredibly accurate song that I like to listen to when school starts. This song says what I want to say to all ubf shepherds as the new semester begins:

You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
You swear you know best

But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset

I’m not the one who’s lost
With no direction oh
But you’ll never see

You’re so busy makin’ maps
With my name on them in all caps
You’ve got the talkin’ down
Just not the listening

All my life
I’ve tried
To make everybody happy while I
Just hurt
And hide
Waitin’ for someone to tell me it’s my turn
To decide.

Who made you king of anything?

A while back, we received an audio recording of a song named Siloam, written and performed by Augustine and John Dang of Milwaukee. We weren’t quite sure how to post it, because this website is not set set up for audio streaming. Eventually we turned it into a video file (adding a single frame still photo) and uploaded it to YouTube. So here it is. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: This song is the property of Augustine Dang and John Dang, recorded July 2010. We would be thrilled if others used this song in personal and/or corporate worship. However, the song may not be performed for profit or sold in recorded form without the permission of Augustine Dang or John Dang.
