  1. The Box In the River

    Ruth Johnson argues the greater miracle is the one that happens inside a person rather than to a body, and that it comes of abiding in Christ now. A cardboard box slowly coming apart in the current of a river gives her the picture, and a woman in Hamilton whose bound arms came free gives the 1988 Zone 1 Retreat her evidence.

  2. The Moth and the Candle Flame

    Merle Alexander sets Glenn Clark’s four levels of mind before the 1988 Zone 1 Retreat, and argues that only the mind of Christ carries a person from conceiving something good to actually realizing it. A moth going back into the flame, and a badly treated puppy still flinching from a kind owner, mark the levels below it.

  3. The Time and Talent Inventory

    To the Zone 1 Retreat in 1988, Merle Alexander, a nurse, takes the parable of the talents as an inventory of the time and the body a person has been handed, and will have to account for. She contrasts working for hireling wages with keeping a vow, and remembers growing up in the shadow of a sister everyone called gorgeous.
