A Review of Stephen Lawhead’s Skin Map

    When I got The Skin Map from Booksneeze (at no charge, no obligations, very awesome), I really had no idea what to expect. I had already read a few of Stephen Lawhead‘s books, and I knew that he had a diverse range of style. So I dug in with no preconceived notions about [...]

Everyone Communicates…

…But Few Connect. Well I just finished Everyone Communicates, Few Connect by John Maxwell. I am almost ashamed for getting such a good book for free from BookSneeze, and even though I wasn’t required to give a positive review, that is the only kind I can give it. Out of the hundreds of books that [...]

Shoot Straight; Listen Up

Greetings, That is a strange title for an article which proposes to deal with children’s songs, but as I meditated on what I would write, I discovered that I needed to address several other, very important, and foundational concepts before hand. And it is from these that I drew the inspiration for my title. I [...]

Free Book for Free!

Greetings, I am trying out the BookSneeze service, and so far, it looks good. I got to read a good book and write about it all for free! Humorously, the book I chose is called Free Book. Hahaha… Unfortunately they want a shorter review than I would naturally give, and for those of you who [...]

They like to do things differently, which I like. Here is a press release talking about what they are doing now:   October 19, 2009 FOR [...]

Holy Worlds Christian Fantasy Site

Greetings, If you have read any amount of my writing, I would hope that you have noticed that I believe very strongly that God desires all men to dedicate and subject all of their lives utterly to Him. If that was not made clear, let me apologize and I will try to amend that error. [...]

Essence

Greetings, In our family we are strange. And we like it that way. We are freed up to talk about things in ways that ‘normal’ people would not even consider, and we can talk about things that do not even exist! This is very useful, but it poses some problems. Such as, how do you [...]
