Wednesday June 27, 2007

Books: As promised, all the books at the Desiring God store are a mere $5 today. Even John Piper thinks this is crazy. So go and lose yourself in a frenzy of consumerism. You won't be sorry!

Photo: Though the text accompanying it is a little over the top, this photo tells a story that the media seems to be hiding.

Islam: The NY Times has an interesting article about the etiquette of Jihad.

Theology: The latest edition of the 9Marks eJournal is now available. It focuses on the gospel and challenges to it.

Technology: WSJ reviews the iPhone . "Our verdict is that, despite some flaws and feature omissions, the iPhone is, on balance, a beautiful and breakthrough handheld computer"

Yeah the text sorta ignored rules of engagement. The kid probably knew enough that if anyone threw something at the soldier or fired at him the soldier would shoot back. Otherwise, he's just walking by.

Uh, a "story that the media seems to be hiding?" The picture is from a NY Times article. How is that "hiding" a story?

Frankly, I think the look of sheer terror on that little boy's face tells a more pressing story. This is what people in Iraq live with on a daily basis.
