I am preaching a brief series on desire, envy, competition, and ambition. Entitled “Heavier Than Wet Sand,” yesterday was on envy.
The Janks Twins are Doing Great, By the Way
Badly Informed Clerics
Now that I have finished Surprised by Hope, let me reiterate that it is an outstanding book, and just what the doctor ordered for all my conservative friends who are standing in the pond of dualism, up to their chins. But I should also say that I agree completely with the questions/concerns raised in the …
N.T. Wright’s Neo-Colonialism
It is not often I get to criticize a magnificent book, but I am about to do so. I am currently luxuriating in N.T. Wright’s Suprised by Hope, and the book addresses so many common mistakes that Christians make about the afterlife and the resurrection that it really is quite bracing. It is a fine …
The Last Chapter
Never forget that you are a called out people. God is establishing a new nation among all nations, a new people among all people, and a new race of men in the midst of the old race of men. He is doing this with the intention of having this new race of men in the …

This means that Wilson will continue to stonewall for his …
Letting the Grease Cool Down

Wilson states this: I have been misrepresented by FV critics time without number, and because I don’t want Schlissel or Lusk disavowing me for things I don’t really believe, I have no intention of doing it to them. …
Wonder Goose
The last chapter of Schneider’s book was really interesting, and in his epilogue, where he summarized the work of the Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto, he really got my attention. De Soto’s book The Mystery of Capital sounded really intriguing so I made a point of ordering it. Besides, he’s a South American writing on …
Way Fun
All right, everybody, here we go. Canon Press is in the process of uploading their titles to googlebooks, and the process has been completed for twenty-three of them. Give us a few months, and the rest of the catalog will be uploaded. Many publishers just have a portion of the book available, but with these …
