The New Abortion Strategy - Dr. Mohler writes about a growing plan to make abortion even more mainstream by positioning it as a routine procedure that can be carried out by your local family doctor.
The Flak over The Shack - It seems all is not well behind the scenes with The Shack. The author and the men behind the company that initially published it are “mired in a series of lawsuits, accusations flying over improper accounting practices, millions of dollars in missing royalties, contract breaches and copyright disputes. Hachette, meanwhile, just wants to know to whom it owes money — and how much.”
Gospel Coalition 2011 - The Gospel Coalition have announced the details of next year’s conference. It looks like this one is going to be bigger than ever.
Evangelical Bunko Artists - Phil Johnson writes of “How I Learned the Hard Way that Pious Gullibility Is No Virtue.”
I Write Like - Just for fun. “Check which famous writer you write like with this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers.”
I am a follower of Jesus Christ, a husband to Aileen and a father to three young children. I worship and serve as a pastor at

Apparently I write like William Shakespeare. I guess my fame will show up soon then?
So what famous author do you write like, Tim? (Of course, you’re a famous author … so does the test pick up that you write like yourself? :-)
I write like Dan Brown?! I felt awkward until I copied some of Tim’s writing in there (he too is a Dan Brown clone, apparently).
I write like H. P. Lovecraft and Arthur C. Clark. I’ve never read anything by either of them.
So apparently I write like Dan Brown…is that good or bad?
Wow. I can’t tell you how glad I am to see how many other people write like Dan Brown. I was on the verge of spending my day in penitential fasting when that name came up for me.
What are the odds that site is entirely randomized? Or is it that if a single religiousy sounding word comes up it defaults to Dan Brown?
I am not sure I should be blogging any more since apparently I write like Dan Brown?!? (shudder)
But then again, if Tim’s work is Dan Brown-esque then maybe I am in good company!
Oh the shame. I write like Stephenie Meyer. Of course, then I put in a different writing sample and got J.R.R. Tolkien. I’m going to stick with that one.
Um….I write like Stephen King.
*crickets chirping*
Then again, I entered another piece of text, and it said I wrote like a dude named Cory Doctorow.
So….this is fun, but a little funky. I wonder, too, if it depends on only a few words.
I was told I write like Shakespeare. Which is certainly not accurate.
William P. Young and his cohorts should get into their canoe, paddle across the lake, find the cave where Sophia lives, and get this royaly matter settled with her wisdom. That is what Papa would (did) advise.
I suffer from multiple “write-like” syndrome…Dan Brown, Jane Austen, and Cory Doctorow (who is he?). Too many Dan Browns mentioned in the comments above to be anything other than a sorting of writing with a search for keywords. Fun exercise for about 5 minutes. Not likely to add to my “favorites” or subscribe to their writing improvement e-newsletters.
I entered a few paragraphs from a novel I’m working on and learned that I write like Stephen King. I entered a few paragraphs from a software manual I wrote and got Arthur C. Clarke. Interesting site.
Also interesting is the fact that Jacobsen and Cummings wanted to be included on the cover of “The Shack” as co-authors. All I could think as I read that was, “I would be so embarrassed if my name were on such a poorly written piece of fiction!”
Welcome back, Tim! We missed you!
I put in 5 healthy-sized blog posts of mine and got 4 different authors —
Apparently when I write about grace, I write like Stephen King. When it’s about Francis Chan, I write like William Shakespeare. For a post about John Piper and Rick Warren, it’s H. P. Lovecraft. Two posts (one a movie review and the other a tribute to iMonk) are allegedly like Cory Doctorow.
Roses are red / violets are blue / I’m schizophrenic / And so am I
Yikes…I write like Stephen King and Jack London.
I’m just curious…if one isn’t a church leader how do we find listings of worthwhile conferences?
Over one million babies a year are sacrificed to the altar of convenience. That is sickening. I honestly could not respect a doctor who also performed abortions.
On another note, apparently I write like Stephen King.
@JPH: my husband also got Stephenie Meyer with his first sample… he redid the test as well. =)
