Ross King has written lots of great songs with many a hard-hitting lyric. One such lyric (while relatively mild on the hard-hitting scale) goes like this:
I’m gonna take some time today
To read a book I don’t agree with
Find out what it has to say
Just days ago I impulsively bought a book from the local Half [...]
Last night I finished reading one of the (if not the) funniest books I’ve ever read.
Christopher Moore’s Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal came to me with high recommendation from Colby Ivey and literally came in the mail from Mikey Mills. It tells the story of Jesus’ formative years, the ones that [...]
I’m currently in the early stages of a book that I can already tell I won’t be able to justly review. Not even close.
Christopher Moore’s, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal is already the funniest book I’ve ever read, and I’m only 60-something pages in. I’ll share with you the excerpt that [...]
This book was given to me nearly a year ago by a dear friend following a conversation we’d had regarding my deep desire to know the Father. Not just know about Him or know Him like I know the names of all 50 states, but to really know the deep things of His character, of [...]
Jesus for President was published while I was in Philly working at my internship. While working there I met both Shane Claiborne and Chris Haw, the authors of this book. One of the perks of working (for free) with the folks in this camp up in Philadelphia was that I managed to acquire a copy [...]
My boss recently bought this coffee table book from the local Anarchist (yes, anarchist) book store, and over the past week I’ve spent my lunch breaks reading it. When I first picked it up I never really planned on reading all the way through it, but after spending 30 minutes looking at the images and [...]
Ironically enough, on the heels of writing a post containing the question, “Of all the books you’ve read, which one did you read the fastest (presumably because it was excellent)? How long did it take?”, my answer changed. Ladies and gentlemen, D.O.’s new record for the shortest amount of time required to read an entire [...]
I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true. I actually finished another book. It’s only been like 4 months. I’ll wait for the applause to die down before I continue.
[pauses]
As you may or may not be able to tell from the picture, my most recent book completion was Philip Yancey’s latest, Prayer: Does it [...]
It’s been a long while since I last published a book review, and for good reason too: it’s been a long while since I last finished a book. That said, I give you a review for No Compromise: The Life Story of Keith Green.
As you may have ascertained from the book’s title, this is a [...]
I came across this book at a Dallas area Half Price Books I visited with a friend. I had no intentions of leaving the store having made a purchase, but upon thumbing through this book I thought it worthy of my $6.47. At first, second, and possibly third glance, I wasn’t sure how to go [...]
