Dreaming of Home
Homecoming as a model for renewal and mission
Michael Mitton
Dreaming of Home At heart, the journey is about a commitment to love ourselves as we are. How often have we heard preachers exhort us to do this; how often have we read books explaining why we have to do this; how often has a kindly friend told us that God loves us as we are so we must do the same.
