Posted by Ray on 10 July 2008, 11:41 pm

I am happy to be participating in a blog tour by Jim Spiegel promoting his new book Gum, Geckos, and God. Jim teaches philosophy at Taylor University and is the father of four children. This book is a record of various conversations that have come up between him and his children as they have talked …

Posted by Ray on 9 July 2008, 4:36 pm

A Family Guide to Prince Caspian, Christin Ditchfield (Crossway, 2008), pb., 123 pp. I am late commenting on this book since it was released to coincide with the movie.

I love corporate worship. I realize this more and more as the years go by it seems. In the corporate gathering of the saints as we worship God, I see things more clearly than just about any other time. It is as if the reality of heaven breaks through my clouded vision and those realities …

Osprey Graphic History

Posted by Ray on 7 July 2008, 12:38 am

A few months ago I discovered the Osprey Graphic History seriesas five volumes were available online at a significant discount. They are essentially comic-book accounts of key battles and looked like they might be a fun addition to our other books so I purchased them.

Plodding Along

Posted by Ray on 1 July 2008, 4:04 pm

Doug Wilson has a beneficial post on his approach to getting things done. I found it a good reminder- challenging, refreshing and encouraging. It reminded me of a story I have been told about William Carey (though I have not checked it out). Carey accomplished an amazing amount of work in his missionary labors from …
