Three books to anticipate...

For some blessed reason book publishers sometimes send me books. Books for free... imagine. Some of them are stunningly good. Here are three books I can't recommend highly enough... more highly?... high ? You get the picture. Blogging is destroying...

They send you these books to edit or review?
Hey, you want another book to review?
I've got one... in fact, Bishop Gene Robinson just wrote a review of it that I'm putting on the back cover of the next printing.
And, it got quite a lovely review on Street Prophets.

Just say the word... or e-mail it...

Dave, Dave, can I send you LEFT BEHIND Part 64: The Anti-Christ Resigns?
David,
Saw a prerelease copy of Tim Keller's new book, "Reason for Faith"--it looked very intriguing.
Canucklehead, which Democrat president is it?
Amazon.com: "As with Out of Egypt, the opening novel, The Road to Cana is based on the Gospels and on the most respected New Testament scholarship. The book’s power derives from the profound feeling its author brings to the writing and the way in which she summons up the presence of Jesus."
Which "scholars" does she use? The anti-Christian "scholars" like Spong of Liberal theology like the Jesus Seminar gang, or scholars who are real Christians? Hopefully Jim Wallis and his ilk are not endorsing her work. Think how wonderful it would be for the youth of the world if this woman were to present what Jesus and the Apostles did and preached, instead of the typical leftie garbage of "Do what thou wilt . . . " just, "be safe" wink-wink. The good news of liberalism: licentiousness, hedonism and lasciviousness, are not Gospel doctrines. I'll read the book in B and N when it comes out.
hey Donny,
think how wonderful it would be if each of us - you included - was present to what Jesus taught. I haven't really made the connection between your fury at anything that makes you uncomfortable and the faith that Jesus has given to me. Anne Rice's work is new to me - she seems to have think deeply and with a profound Christian awareness about this work. Try it - it'll change things. I've read enough of her to see a soul that seeks God. I've read enough from you to see the same. She's effective in relaying that journey to others. You are not.
sitting there as you fume about good people who disagree with you - can't take you any further in this spiritual journey. As someone said about politics - such fury is all motion without movement. Jesus calls us forward and does not require us to defend him. We are just to hear him - clearly -and with love for him and for one another. To leave out the second half makes the first half irrelevant. My mother would fix you with a mighty look and say - Enough of this nonsense - tell your brother you're sorry. Lord, knows, she did it for me often enough.
