How to read the Bible

I haven’t posted much lately, mostly because I haven’t got anything to say and the book project is taking up a lot of my mental energy. I just haven’t had anything interesting to say.
I was re-reading Robertson Davies‘ Deptford Trilogy to immerse myself in great writing. I probably read it once every couple of years. [...]

52 books #8: The Hidden Power of Electronic Culture - Shane Hipps
The Hidden Power of Electronic Culture - Shane Hipps
Around the end of 07 I decided I wanted to read 52 books this year. I read a lot, so that’s not really a step down in quantity for me, but I wanted to step up in quality. So I got on my email and facebook lists [...]

52 books #7: A Short History of Nearly Everything-Bill Bryson
A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson
When I was in elementary school I loved science. It was my favourite subject and if you asked me then what I was going to be when I grew up, I would have said “detective”, but my second choice would have been doctor. I didn’t realize at [...]

52 books #5: The Living Church - John Stott
The Living Church - John Stott
I hope to grow up to be John Stott. Not that I could approach his level of scholarship or wisdom, but I hope that when I move into my ninth decade on the planet (should I make it that long or the Lord tarry, although I’m nowhere near as sure [...]

360 - Degree Leadership - Michael Quicke
This book lost momentum for me in the late going. Quicke is a preaching professor and practitioner and cares deeply about the art; and the strength of the book is his persuasive argument for preaching as an integral part of congregational leadership. The problem is that he cares much [...]

The War Room - Warren Kinsella
Well I finished The War Room. It was an entertaining read: very informative on the inner view of the world of politics. It would be easy to be callous and cynical about the political process, but what prevented that for me was Kinsella’s personality. I believe that he cares deeply [...]

A Community Called Atonement - Scot McKnight
I once got an email from the author after I commented on his blog. He wanted to know if I was the Daniel Taylor who wrote The Myth of Certainty. I’m not. Sorry to disappoint both of you. I’m also not the opera singer nor the artist. (As [...]
