Britney and WWE…nice.

Best book this year for me? The Epic of Eden by Sandra Richter (OT prof. at Asbury Seminary). Her class was amazing, so is this book. More than worth every dollar it cost.

Currently reading Simply Christian (N.T. Wright) and have on deck Faith & Doubt (Ortberg) and Eat This Book (Peterson).

Merry Christmas!

“No More Jellyfish, Chickens, or Wimps” by Paul Coughlin is the best parenting book I have read. It teaches parents how to instill courage in their children, how to teach their children to deal with bullies, and how to protect their children from adult predators. Every parent should read this book.

Also, “Just Courage” by Gary Haugen addresses the problem of boredom among Christians. He suggests that the remedy may be to take risks to pursue justice in our world. Mr. Haugen is the president of International Justice Mission, an organization that fights injustices like slavery around the world. It’s a small book, but it contains great information and encouragement to make a difference in our world.

One of the most moving books I’ve read is “The Shack.” This one really spoke to my heart. The way God is portrayed can be written only by a person who’s heart has been broken and put back together piece by piece by God, Himself.

Also, “Glittering Images,” a book that’s been around for awhile, written by Susan Howatch. Her characterization is amazing and speaks directly to the heart as well.

Just finished Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road” — could not stop reading it. Also thoroughly enjoyed “Crazy Love” from Francis Chan.
