What if I were to tell you that there was a woman who had for over a decade lived as a committed lesbian, who was a professor of "queer studies" and feminism at a major university, and who had been an advocate for radical abortion rights and every other far left agenda you can think [...]
I am by no means a “greek geek.” I took two years of Greek in college. I’ve referenced it from time to time when I come to a difficult verse, but I’m not doing my daily devotions from my worn out Textus Receptus. Sorry. Greek has a lot of complex of Greek declensions and endings [...]
The premise behind 20,000 Days and Counting was when the author, Robert Smith, realized he had lived roughly half of his life (20,000 days) and wanted to approach the rest of his life with some kind of a plan. He booked a hotel room for two days, wrote a bunch of emails, and wrote out [...]
The Legend of the Monk and the Merchant by Terry Felber is an odd kind of book for the twentyfirst century. It is an allegory. This particular allegory focuses on a child who was raised by monks but ulitmately chose to be a merchant as he passes on to his grandson the lessons he learned [...]

If you’ve never read stufffundieslike, and you couldn’t figure out by the title, it is a website [...]
In reviewing a book, a blogger like me risks credibility when he is too enthusiastically positive. Saying things like “one of the best books I’ve ever read” or “an instant classic” or “pure gold” makes him look like he is simple or some kind of fan boy. If that is the case, in reviewing Mondays [...]
While I was in college, on a date with my soon to be wife, we dropped into a used bookstore in Chattanooga, TN. While looking through the religious books, I picked up a copy of a book by Charles Spurgeon that I hadn’t heard of before entitled The Greatest Fight in the World. Annually, Charles Spurgeon [...]
Lectures to My Students, Charles Spurgeon Usually, when something is a classic, there is a good reason for it. This book is no different. I got my first copy of this book when I was a freshman in Bible college and have read through many of its chapters over and over. When I got my [...]
