New Book

I'm flat-out pumped! My new book arrived, "In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day" by Mark Batterson. I'm two chapters into it and I'm enthralled. I love the concept, love the story of Benaiah, I love the way Batterson mixes theology with science and philosophy and literature to engage your intellect...

I'm thankful for the impact that Max Lucado's books had on me early in my faith journey, but when I read now, I want meat and more meat. I want to be challenged intellectually as well as theologically and morally. I hate the thinking that to be Christians and to have faith in God, we must check our brains at the door. Batterson seems to get this. He's a sharp guy and seems to be doing an incredible work in Washington D.C.

If you want to be someone who does something, not just someone who exists, this book may be a good tool. Check it out. Let me know if you've already read it and what you thought.
