Hope Strength Courage @ Your Fingertips
New book celebrates the power of prayer, community and the Internet
San Diego, CA – (Release Date TBD) – When things fall apart, we typically turn to family, faith, and friends. Now the Internet provides instant access to all three. The God Box: Hope Strength Courage @ Your Fingertips tells how author Lynn Neu’s email cry for help when diagnosed with cancer led to the birth of an online community of loving kindness. It celebrates the transformative power of prayer, the sustaining power of community, and the connection between faith, healing and the Internet.
Released through Xlibris, The God Box is the mature work of an experienced minister who has honed her skills and her theology for almost four decades of church work. Here, Neu tackles the tough theological issues surrounding prayer in our postmodern world: Is it realistic to pray? Does prayer really work? Should we be praying for miracles? How can we tell if our prayers are answered? In the process of addressing those thorny issues, she gives the reader a kaleidoscopic picture of suffering humanity as well as the basic principles of a “theology of suffering” and the importance of forming community.
In The God Box, readers witness the faith and struggles of a community who learn from each other how to pray, how to surrender, how to hope, how to grieve, and how to celebrate life. Overflowing with information, experiences, quotations, ideas, insights, prayers, poems, and hope, The God Box offers practical wisdom about how to heal and sustain your life.
If you’re looking for just the right book for someone going through tough times, this could be it!

Dan was badly injured in a bicycle accident. He was initially taken to All Saints but was then transferred to Froedtert in Milwaukee. Although there has been some improvement, he is still not taking visitors as it is taking everything out of him just to do all the therapy that he has to do. Please call Amy before trying to go up to see Dan.
They have set up a website to keep everyone informed and it has all the info you could want. Please follow the link below and check out the journal section on the site.
To get the whole story about the new playground that's going up in Lockwood Park, you have to go back to a conversation between Ben Lake and Aron Wisneski over a year ago.
Lake's 7-year-old son has cerebal palsy and uses a walker to get around. It's not much of an obstacle for him - until he gets to playgrounds covered in woodchips and sand. While most kids can just walk or run over the soft surfaces, anyone who uses wheelchairs or walkers struggles to move around.
During a fortuitous trip to northern Wisconsin, Lake stumbled across an alternative. He was actually snowmobiling past a school and saw a playground sitting on top of a bright-colored surface. He stopped to investigate and found what's known as a "boundless" playground with a rubberized surface that's soft for kids to play on, but also easy to cross.
