Book Giveaway: Celebrating 100 Book Reviews

-
As you may have noticed, I posted my 100th book review yesterday!

I want to celebrate this fact by doing another book giveaway.  Not just any giveaway though, no, that would not be good enough for you, my loyal readers! 

Instead, I will be giving away your choice of (almost) any one of these 100 books. The only condition is that I refuse to give away a book that I rated as "not recommended." Sorry, but I simply won't do that to you. Trust me, it's for your own good. You also cannot choose the kindle :) 

Here is how the contest works. You have one week from today, until noon PST on Wednesday August 3rd, to enter the contest. In order to enter all you have to do is tell me, in a comment, which book you would like to receive. 

And in case you find browsing through 100 book reviews a daunting task, let me help you. If you ever take a look at the bottom of my posts you will see descriptive words known as labels or tags. If you click on them you will be taken to every other blog post I have written with the same label. 

To make it even easier, here are the links to some of those tags that you may want to use in order to narrow your search:


The winner will be chosen randomly from the list of entrants.

I'll choose the kindle! And if that doesn't work, I pick "On Being a Leader for God" by Warren W. Wiersbe.

How exciting. Thanks Andrew!

Atheist Delusions by David Bentley Hart.

I've been emailing with a friend's co-worker who idolizes Hitchens. He is very passionate about conveying his believes on Christianity and how it's immoral. \/\/1nz7oN 7

Forgiveness: A Hard Word From Luther

-
"Those who follow Christ grieve more over the sin of their offenders than over the loss or offense to themselves. And they do this that they may recall those offenders from their sin rather than avenge the wrongs they themselves have suffered. Therefore they put off the form of their own righteousness and put on the form of those others, praying for their persecutors, blessing those who curse, doing good to the evil-doers, preparing to pay the penalty and make satisfaction for their very enemies that they may be saved. This is the gospel and the example of Christ." - Martin Luther (Quoted by Miroslav Volf, Free of Charge, pg. 161-162)

A Good Tree Bears Good Fruit....

"Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." - Matthew 7:17-18 "One of the most powerful ways to influence the behavior of a system is through its purpose or goal. That's because the goal is the direction-setter of the system, the definer of discrepancies that require action, the indicator of compliance, failure, or success toward which balancing feedback loops work. If the goal is defined badly, if it doesn't measure what it's supposed to measure, if it doesn't reflect the real welfare of the system, then the system can't possibly produce a desirable result. Systems, like the three wishes in the traditional fairy tale, have a terrible tendency to produce exactly and only what you ask them to produce. Be careful what you ask them to produce." - Donella H. Meadows, Thinking in Systems.

A Gracious Reading of Rob Bell

-
The Journey So Far The controversy rages on over Rob Bell's upcoming new book. No matter what happens now, this controversy has effectively guaranteed that 'everyone who is anyone' will need to read this book. Either to find out what is wrong and bash it, or because someone we generally disagree with also disagrees with the book so it has to be good stuff! Then, because 'everyone' is reading it, people like me will 'have to' read it to. After all, I am a pastor, and if many of my people are reading and being influenced by a book, don't I need to know what is going on as well?  Or so the reasoning will go... and perhaps I will read it, who knows. In the meantime, none of this will stop me from continuing to join this fray which I probably ought to have stayed out of in the first place. Onwards, Christian... :) The Latest Salvo The latest salvo has been fired by DeYoung  claiming that not only do we not need to talk with Bell but, more importantly, it
