Readers' Responses to Giving is the Good Life

article January 29, 2020

article July 24, 2019

I just finished reading Costi Hinn’s new book God, Greed, and the (Prosperity) Gospel: How Truth Overwhelms a Life Built on Lies, over a period of three days, including two late nights. I couldn’t put it down!

Football Sunday: A Terrific Resource for Your Church and Family

article January 26, 2019

I mentioned Football Sunday in a blog a few weeks ago, but it's still not too late for your church to use some or all of the resources to make Super Bowl Sunday a day of outreach and spiritual growth. The video can also be used in any home watching the game. One great idea is to use it as a positive alternative to the halftime show! 

Jackie Hill Perry’s “Gay Girl, Good God” Is a Book You Shouldn’t Miss

article November 30, 2018

I first heard Jackie Hill Perry at the Canvas Conference in Portland a few years ago, where we both spoke. Jackie writes like a word artist, which is exactly what she is. Gay Girl, Good God is poetry of sorts, at times with a cadence, and I was almost spellbound listening to it.

Happiness: A Puritan Prayer (and Some Thoughts on the Puritan Stereotype)

article October 31, 2018

I’ve written in the past about how highly Nanci and I recommend The Valley of Vision, the book of Puritan Prayers. It’s a truly amazing God-exalting, Christ-centered compilation of prayers from the Puritans, including a few who lived after the Puritan era but were Puritans in Heart, notably Charles Spurgeon.

Shouldn’t We Share Our Concerns About a Book Directly with the Author Instead of in the Public Forum?

article August 1, 2018

Recently someone asked me, “When you have concerns about a book, and disagree with it, shouldn’t you talk directly to the author rather than posting about it on your blog?”

Get into God’s Word with The Bible Project

article July 9, 2018

Nanci and I often watch one of their 5 to 10 minute videos at dinner, and our discussion takes off from there.
