Crabb has been formational in my thinking about the spiritual journey. Reading Inside Out for the 10 time with a group of emerging leaders. Came across this and it summarizes the books for me:
When the fullness of our disappointment drives us to an overwhelming sorrow that replaces anger with pain, when we can feel in our stomach how badly we wanted our father to be there and our mother to non-possessively care, we will be shaken to the core of our being. That kind of pain, I submit, is the starting point for real change. It is only when we face the horror of desperately longing for what no one has or ever will provide that we give up our demands of others to satisfy our thirst and we turn in humble, broken dependence to God.
That kind of journey can only be taken with grace as your companion!
