Merry Christmas to Me!

Due to the copious amount of time spent decking halls, eating goodies, and playing Santa, I will not be typing in sermon recaps until 2008. I will put in a few song lyrics and funny Christmas comic strips. Sorry to disappoint you, but I have some beef stick to eat!

November Reads

I am not a "small group guru", but I really appreciated this book. Myers made me think a bit, and that is sometimes a good thing.

This is just a funny little Christmas book, courtesy of Peter Copeland. He is a great guy, but people make fun of him because he is a Gamecock fan. Please pray for him. He leaves for a mission trip to Nepal this month. At least he will not miss the USC bowl game.

OK, little known fact: I sang southern gospel for several years, and I love Michael English and his soul filled voice. This is his story--a long and winding one--and the grace that restored him. The book is not super theological, but if you love Michael English and happy endings, then pick it up!

I really appreciate McLaren and his willingness to stand on the fringes. For many, he is too liberal, but they are missing out on a prime conversation between Christ and culture.
