The Ultimate Christian Novel (11/19/09 - 86 Comments)
I think I have done it. I've come up with the ultimate idea for the ultimate Christian novel. This novel seamlessly blends today's most popular genres into one beautiful, compelling, cohesive whole. I thought you would want to know all about it. So I give to you... Cassidy: Amish Vampiress of the Tribulation That's right. It's an Amish novel; it's a vampire novel; it's an end-times novel. It's the best of all worlds. Here is...
Thanksgiving (10/12/09 - 4 Comments)
As I mentioned on Saturday, this is Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. Where our neighbors to the south celebrate Thanksgiving on a Thursday, here we do so on a Monday. So today is an official holiday--all the stores are closed and everyone gets a day off. Even bloggers. Today I'll leave you with some links I had bookmarked over the weekend, hoping you enjoy them as I did. How Jerusalem Was Spared. Yesterday Paul preached...

Here are just a few random things I wanted to mention before I post this week's Free Stuff Friday giveaway. Book News I mentioned a short time ago that I was in the midst of putting together book proposals. That was completed some time ago and in the very near future I should have some exciting news about my next writing projects. I'm just sorting through details right now but should be able to bring...

I was just opening up my blogging software to begin writing today's article when I got interrupted by a Home Depot truck. After our basement got flooded a couple of weeks ago, we decided (after having the crack in the foundation repaired) to replace the old, ugly carpet with hardwood. We ordered everything from Home Depot and the delivery turned up this morning. The truck couldn't maneuver to the front of our house, so had...

I am about to hit the road for what marks the beginning of a busy spring conference season. This evening I'll be speaking at a church in Mt. Morris, Michigan and will then travel with the youth to some kind of a retreat center. I'll be speaking to them five times over the weekend, covering issues related to discernment. I covet your prayers as I seek to minister effectively to these young people! Before I...
Odds and Ends (12/26/08 - 8 Comments)
I'm mostly taking time off through the end of this week, but wanted to share a few links I found round and about. The first shares the sad news that Disney has decided to walk away from the Chronicles of Narnia films. This leaves Walden Media looking for another distributor who can take them on (which Fox probably being the most obvious contender). It's not that the movies were losing money; far from it, really....
Dominican Republic - Random Reflections (11/07/08 - 5 Comments)
As I begin my journey home, I thought I'd offer a few random reflections on the Dominican Republic (though if you didn't read it yesterday evening, I'd really encourage you to first read and respond to this post). These are things that popped into my head at one time or another, but which didn't find their way into another post (perhaps for good reason). Here they are... Before I left, a friend who spent several...
Good Saint Sarah (09/05/08 - 60 Comments)
For sheer entertainment value, I think American politics in general, and Presidential campaigns in particular, are about the best bang for my buck, even as a non-American. For little more than the cost of an internet connection I can spend endless hours being amused. This 2008 campaign may be the most entertaining yet. While I rarely use this blog to discuss politics (and especially when I'm as ignorant of a topic as I am with...

Today I want to point to just a couple of items that have been waiting in my Bookmarks folder. Boring Sermons At a recent post on her blog, Deb Burton says this: “Your child thinks Sunday morning sermons are boring. The pastor is just another talking head, like all those grown-up shows with political pundits. His body language shows it. You think the pastor is right on the money - he’s biblical, he’s topical, and...

On the last day of the first round of my summer vacation, I want to offer up some links that have been collecting in my Bookmarks folder. NoiseTrade NoiseTrade is a site co-founded by Derek Webb that offers good music for “a few friends or a few bucks.” Their music is free to download if you pass along information about it to three friends or if you pay what you think it is worth. There...
