History is one of my favorite subjects. I read once that history is biography and I certainly enjoy reading a good biography. Recently I read “10 People Every Christian Should Know” by Warren W. Wiersbe. It’s a great little book of mini-biographies to give the reader a sort of appetizer. Wiersbe includes bibliographical information in [...]

Names in Fantasy Novels
Posted in Books on March 7, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
One of the difficulties I have when reading fantasy novels is keeping track of who’s who when the names are really unusual. I just finished reading a book where most of the characters were Elven. By the end I had a hard time keeping track of who was who unless the author referenced something the [...]

Have you ever started reading a book and realized that you must have read it before?

Benchwarmers to First Stringers An organized approach to transforming spectators into ministers. Keeping in mind that I am still in the brainstorm phase of this project and the title may not make the cut.
- Notes from the Daily ReadingPsalm 93:4 God is mightier than the seeming chaos of our lives. When things are falling apart, trust Him and remember that He is still in control. 2 Kings 2:23-24 The punishment here is not simply because a group of boys teased Eljisha for being bald. Rather they were mocking a prophet of God which [...]
- Church UnityI appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. 1 Corinthians 1:10 The church needs to agree both to purpose and process.
