I don’t want to distract you from Trinity Fest — you are coming, aren’t you? — but for those who like to schedule things well in advance, here is some teaser info on the ministerial conference we are holding this fall. More details forthcoming later.
A Ripping Good Adventure Yarn
A few weeks ago, Christianity Today reviewed Leepike Ridge in their print edition. They have now put that review on the front page of their web site here. And in other related news, the July/August edition of The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (published by Johns Hopkins) reviewed Nate’s book and gave it …
Overwhelmed and Encouraged
Week after next Nancy and I will be in Atlanta with hundreds of other classical Christian educators for the annual ACCS conference. These conferences are always a wonderful time, and the phrase that I have used to describe them is “simultaneously overwhelming and encouraging.” If you are at all interested in the recovery of classical …
The Chickification of Modern Culture
Let me continue to recommend the blog of the Bayly brothers. They understand, as few others do, that the really serious issues confronting the Church today have to do with how we go about defining of male and female, and whether we are going to submit to the teaching of Scripture on this or not. …
My Question Exactly: “Why?”
Never tiring of fulfilling the need we have for yet another angle on evangelism, somebody came up with this — a guilt trip with baby Jesus as the driver. We need to try an evangelistic rally in a stadium with one of these on the JumboTron. Watch it for a few minutes to get the …

Even Interestinger
Over the few years this blog has been up and going, I have periodically given a report on the web traffic doings here. The natural time for doing this is birthdays, but I was so busy that this blog’s third birthday passed by a few weeks ago without me noticing it. Oops and sorry. But …
More Leepikey Stuff
The good folks at Veritas Press asked me if I would write an open letter to Nate about Leepike Ridge for their monthly electronic newsletter. I was happy to do that, and you can read what I wrote at this web site. Be sure to check out Laurie Detweiler’s review of the book after my …
Even More Leepike News
Christianity Today has published their annual book issue, and a two-page enthusiastic review of Leepike Ridge is prominently featured in it. Are you tired of me talking about Nate’s book yet? Too bad. Sorry. You can take a look at the review here.
Some Good Leepike News
A couple days ago, I mentioned that Books & Culture had named Leepike Ridge their book of the week. That was a fun business, and now there’s some more news to add. The book is selling quite briskly, and has gotten to a sales ranking at Amazon that is higher than some comparable titles that …
