I had to take a break from all of my reading do focus on school, but some events over the past week have taken that pressure off of me (I may delve into those at a later date, but not now) and I’m again able to spend my free time reading for pleasure. This new [...]
So to make another push for the Indian Taxi Fund, Josh came up with an idea to sell books for $25. He’s got a few posted on his site if you aren’t a fan of anything you see over here, I’m offering basically the entirety of my bookshelf from the past six months. If you’re [...]
I think I’m going to start a semi-frequent section called “Random stuff,” for usage when I have things I want to talk about, but don’t quite have time or enough information to fully flesh out those thoughts into at least decent posts, as well as interesting things going on with my life. So, without further [...]
It seems like my wife and I have the most interesting conversations at Taco Mac. For those of you not familiar with the chain it’s a bar with a restaurant attached, with a selection of hundreds of beers, and pretty good wings. But it seems that when we sit down the theology light switch gets [...]
**edit** So I completely misspelled misquoting. Wow… that’s just sad, and it took me two days to catch it! So I finished the book today, it took me three and a half hours at the coffee house to knock out the last half of it (reading intermixed with eavesdropping on other conversations as well as [...]
So I’m reading “The Divine Conspiracy” by Dallas Willard right now. All I can say is wow, this guy is deep. I’m seriously only on page 50 and he’s already made some pretty profound (well backed) statements. I’ll post up my complete thoughts on the book when I’m done (at the rate I’m reading it [...]
So there’s been some intense discussion over on Josh Brown’s site about emergent being a white man’s game, if you haven’t read through them I’d highly suggest reading all of the comments as there is plenty of insightful and good stuff in there (and some junk). So this conversation got me thinking about how most [...]
So Tony Jones new book “The New Christians” (reviewed here) talks about some of the churches he goes to playing trance music. That term, trance music, makes me think “Don’t drink the kool-aid” yet it’s actually a somewhat normal thing within churches. So, what I want to know is if you’ve ever had a “Don’t [...]
So I read through it all last night, up until about five minutes ago. I’ll say that I was rather impressed with it. I just wish I knew how to describe it. Josh (at least I think it was Josh, it may have been Nick but I’m pretty sure it was Josh) of the Nick [...]
Got the New Christians today, I’ll delve into that one tonight or possibly tomorrow morning. Read the first chapter over here, and I liked what I read. As far as the promised second part… I’ll get to it. Just finished my last test so I’m basically free until Monday afternoon. I’ll carve out some time [...]
