Letters to the Editor #11 (Christians and their Books)

This week’s letters to the editor were almost all in response to my article Going All-in With Ebooks. I suppose this is not too surprising since Christians in general, and perhaps especially Christians who read a site like this one, tend to be committed readers. Every committed reader has an opinion, and often a very strong opinion, about the change of media we are experiencing today. Here is a representative selection of those letters. I begin with an excerpt of …

Letters to the Editor #10 (Sleepovers, Christians, Guns)

Once again, here is a selection of Letters to the Editor. The most popular article I’ve ever written is Why My Family Doesn’t Do Sleepovers. While I wrote it long before I invited letters to the editor, as soon as I allowed letters, they began to flow in. Here is a selection that represents the variety of opinions. Just wanting to remind you that just because they’re at a relatives house doesn’t make them safe either! If our daughter was …

Letters to the Editor #9 (All About Date Nights)

This week’s letters to the editor dealt almost entirely with the article I wrote about date nights. Now, I thought the article quite clearly communicated that date nights are fine and dandy, but simply not necessary. Hence the title You Don’t Need a Date Night. Unfortunately, some people took me as saying “Date nights are stupid and an utter waste of time.” Obviously, that was not my intent. I love going out with Aileen–I just don’t regard it as necessary. …

Letters to the Editor #8 (Homemaking, Reading, Humility)

Blogs were never meant to be one-way communication. Because of the increasing difficulty in maintaining a helpful commenting section, I have recently added a Letters to the Editor feature. Today I share some recent letters to the editor. This week’s Letters to the Editors were almost entirely focused on three articles.  Comments on Homemaking In Light of Eternity My wife is a capable and ambitious woman who does not particularly enjoy being a homemaker. She left a career in Human …

Letters to the Editor #7 (Homemaking, Plausibility, Porn)

Today I share some recent letters to the editor. This week’s Letters to the Editors (and last week’s, since I didn’t post any last week) were almost entirely focused on three articles.  Comments on The Plausibility Problem I’d like to thank you for your review and recommendation of Ed Shaw’s book. …

Letters to the Editor #6 (Peanuts, Comments, Extremists, and More)

Letters to the Editor #5

A couple of months ago I made the decision to remove the comment section on my blog. I did so largely because comments can only succeed where there is good moderation, and I was increasingly unable to provide that. In lieu of comments I have decided to accept (and encourage) letters to the editor. Today I share some of the letters to the editor that have come in this week—letters that are representative of the ones I received this week. …

Letters to the Editor #3

A couple of months ago I made the decision to remove the comment section on my blog. I did so largely because comments can only succeed where there is good moderation, and I was increasingly unable to provide that. The fault, then, was not in the commenters, but in me.
