I’ve been watching each day as the Egyptian people protest their own government and demand the right of self-rule. At the same time I’m reading Metaxas’ biography of Bonhoeffer. It’s a strange combination which has somehow been fruitful. The similarities are interesting. In 1933 when the Nazi party was passing sweeping reform in their country, including the systematic oppression of Jews, Bonhoeffer began to speak out against their policies. I am by no means meaning to compare Mubarak to Hitler... Read more

John Adams by David McCullough I picked up this biography to try and get out of my head a little bit by reading something unrelated to theology. What I found was a deeply moving story of a great man who was swept into the American Revolution, and whose leadership influences our society even to this day.

What strikes me more than anything else is his vision for the interlocking and overlapping realms of Aslan’s land and Narnia. I... Read more

I’m reading a book of short stories by Graham Greene called, The Last Word. Greene is a master of the short story, and this book doesn’t disappoint. The initial story, which serves as the title of the book, is about the execution of the last living Christian – Pope John XXIX. Greene describes this fascinating scenario (plot summary here, be warned it is a total spoiler), where religion has been abolished and the world now lives under one world government.... Read more

When I was a kid, my mom would get up early on Sunday morning to prepare the meal for our Sunday dinner. Back then, people in my church rarely went out to eat on Sundays. They didn’t want to cause other people to work on the Sabbath. Mom would work for an hour or two in order to have everything ready for after church. Then she would put it all in a cold oven & turn on the timer. Sometime... Read more
