Snapshots & Screenshots

Articles Collection cover image

snapshots.jpgI have written a lot of articles through the past 6+ years of blogging. Within all of the “every day” have been a few that I consider favorites–articles that, for one reason or another, stick with me even months or years later. I’ve often thought about collecting some of those together and allowing this to serve as a kind of introduction to the site. I finally had opportunity to do just that.

And so I thought I’d offer this, Snapshots & Screenshots as a means of introducing myself and introducing what I write. It is a collection of twelve of my favorite articles; twelve of the ones I remember as I think back over the past few years. Those of you who have been reading the site for a long time may well remember some or all of those; I trust the newcomers will find something to enjoy as well.

The file is in PDF format so you’ll need the free Adobe Acrobat or another PDF reader to access it. You probably already have such a program on your computer. Feel free to pass the file around or print it if you feel so inclined.

You can download it right here. Enjoy!

    For Some Churches, No Gimmick Is Too Crass

    Many of us live in contexts and cultures in which there is fierce competition among churches, each advertising itself as more interesting, more appealing, more entertaining than the others. It sometimes seems that no gimmick is too crass and no strategy too absurd for these churches as they attempt to one-up the others and fill…

    Zero Gravity

    While making a long journey across the world and enduring the fatigue that comes with it, I thought it would be nice to enjoy some light reading along the way. I mean it as no pun when I say Zero Gravity proved to be just the thing.
