About me: myspace layouts
I'm Brad. A real person with real tastes and interests. Not everyone likes them. Some find this offensive, cause for disillusionment, unplastic, fodder for critique. Sorry folks, don't need it. Won't respond. But for those who actually want to know me as I am...
I'm an author and teacher with a faith community called Fresh Wind, based in Abbotsford, BC. I have a wife, Eden, and three sons.
I like to learn and write and teach about such topics as "listening prayer" (tuning into God's voice) and social justice (www.clarion-journal.ca).
I've written some books:
Can You Hear Me?
Children, Can You Hear Me?
Fear No Evil
Kissing the Leper
Rivers from Eden (with my wife)
Shades: Nuancing Listening Prayer (with Sean Davidson) Have a peak by clicking on the cover to the left.
I'm sorting out the point of my life: Something about love and hearing Jesus in the now and heeding the Jesus of the Gospels...
Hi Brad Thought I'd drop by and say hi. Seems like so long ago that u and Justice stayed over. We were reminicing last night while eating spicy onions from the Three in One. Was reading Olivia Children can u hear me the other night. Theres been much talk of monsters lately so she was most impressed with Jesus giving the green guy a good kicking.
I fovund this weLbsiOte that sho8ws who has a cruSsh on you and thsought i'd lent you know that one of my friEends had oxne on you. You goitta tVry it5!

Hey man how goes it I have a video of us in Colorado check it out. I had no idea we even had it out there lol. so funny Hope all is well things are sure getting back to amazing out here I am kind of glad the crap is being all cleaned up lol
Hey Brad Thanks for adding me. I just wanted to thank you for coming into CLBI for the past couple years. Your classes were truly the most memorable ones there.
So I was thinking today, while pulling weeds in the garden and slapping mosquitoes that it would be nice to have CAN YOU HEAR ME? on my iPod. I have read it a couple years ago, and want to go through it again. Have you thought about putting it on iTunes? Or an audio book? How about the other books? Sometimes listening is another way of taking things in, rather than just reading. Just a thought, and hopefully an encouragement. Blessings!
Just wanted to drop by and say hello to you. I hope things are going well! My new CD will be available May 29th! It will be up online in a couple weeks. Thanks for being a friend come by and say what's up when you can!
Hi Brad Jersak!,
