"The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment" Blog Tour (Day 7)

The blog tour for The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment marches on and today makes a stop at Between Two Worlds, the blog of Justin Taylor. Chances are that if you read my blog, you also read Justin’s or are, at the very least, familiar with it. Justin’s site is an indispensable source for news and good links to other resources and it’s a blog I recommend above just about any other.

Here is what Justin asked me:

As the World's Most Famous Canadian Reformed Blogger, you seek to practice discernment as you critically engage culture and review books. Having now extensively studied the concept of biblical discernment, I wonder what implications you think this has for "discernment blogging"? In part, I'm thinking of "watchdog" blogs and bloggers that have "discernment" as their primary focus. Speaking generally, what are they doing right, and where do they need correction?

Tim,I’ve been following your “tour” with interest and although I’m not a “scheduled” tour stop … I had a question.

Feel free of course to ignore it … but thanks in advance if you do trouble yourself to reply.

How could you?

What were you thinking?

I just can’t believe it?

I am from South Africa, and I use a local online store to get most of my books. They have a facility, that before any book is released, you could still select it, and they will send you an email when that book becomes available.

So, when your book became available, they sent me an email in that regard. However, I decided to wait until Dr. Al Mohler’s book, Culture Shift, became available before purchasing both books (I don’t want to pay twice for delivery).

So, I received the email that Culture Shift had become available, and decided to purchase both these books. However, when I clicked on the link for your book, I was shocked to find the following message:“Due to high demand none of our registered suppliers currently have this product in stock. We will try to replace such products as quickly as possible. Please visit us again to check if it has become available.”

How could you do this to me? Why did you write a book that has become so popular?

All I can say is well done! You have written a book that obviously touches a spot with many people, and I pray that they will be blessed richly by reading it!

All I have to do now is wait, patiently, and then I will buy it together with Dr. Mohler’s book.

Cheers!
