In twenty years as a pastor I was regularly asked about books recommendations. “What can I get for my son who want to know about Bible history?” “How can I know more theology?” “Can you recommend a good devotional guide?” I heard these questions, and others like them, dozens of times. The short answer is, [...]

‘The Generous Soul: An Introduction to Missional Giving,’ available for pre-order now
September 15, 2010
I am happy to announce the pre-release availability of my second book, The Generous Soul: An Introduction to Missional Giving. The back cover description: Christians are inundated with books, messages, and larger-than-life personalities all positioned as experts on God’s will regarding finances. Countering the health-and-wealth attitude are those who abhor any suggestion of financial well-being [...]
‘Holy Rewired,’ book review
August 27, 2010
Dr. David Phillips has been a friend for several years. In the SBC blogosphere of yore, he usually went by the name “Tech Support” since he was the only one in our little group that understood the technology behind “Edit Post” and “Publish.” He saved my bacon many times along the way and gave me [...]
‘Flirting with Faith,’ book review
August 25, 2010
At my wife’s suggestion, I recently read her copy of Flirting with Faith: My Spiritual Journey from Atheism to a Faith-Filled Life. Written by professor Joan Ball, it is the engaging, humorous and revealing story of how an affirmed atheist with no problems to speak of, searching for nothing and experience no spiritual doubts, was [...]
Introducing Sam Raynor, artist
May 19, 2010
One of the most sickeningly talented artistic people I know is Sam Raynor of Gainesville, GA.

Recently she finalized a website to display her various styles of [...]

Up for grabs is a group of ten (10) leadership books to keep or give to leaders around you. Most of these are used having been picked up at various sales or thrift shops over the last few months (not everyone actually reads them, you know) or books that were given to me for attending [...]

‘The Scarecrow,’ by Michael Connelly, book review
November 13, 2009
The Scarecrow was Michael Connelly’s first release of 2009, being followed by the recently released 9 Dragons. Two major hardback releases in a single year is unusual for many writers (a notable exception is James Patterson) and Connelly, if not suffering from a lack of productivity seems to be suffering from a lack of creativity. [...]
‘The Prodigal God,’ book review
November 6, 2009
The Prodigal God, is the latest book by New York Times best selling author and New York pastor Timothy Keller. Keller, of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, has been called a “C. S. Lewis for the 21st century” as his books are for thinking people, Christian and irreligious alike. Keller’s previous book, The Reason for God, was [...]
