Critiquing My Review
Someone has seen fit to post a seven-part video review of my review of The Shack. You can find it all on YouTube. (And, in case you’re wondering, he mispronounces my name every time).

    It always surprises me how quickly an idea can go from introduction to expectation, from mere inquiry to accepted standard. And once an idea has become mainstream in that way, it is difficult to revisit and evaluate it.
