Sometimes Political Activism Works!

I was able to help reverse a plan for American prisons that would have banned innumerable religious books from prison libraries. Only an extremely limited, and seemingly arbitrary list would have been allowed. A book like The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren would have been barred from prisons all over the USA! I am so glad this has been reversed.

I won't talk about politics much in this blog, so don't worry. I just thought that this was pretty great.

Speaking of reading, here's the list of books I'm currently into (no, I usually do not read so many books at one time):

The Koran





Metamorpha












Reading Scripture with the Church Fathers











St. Augustine's Confessions













The Historical Jesus in Context











Devotional Classics

Talented Student Leaders

At the Leadership Advance this past weekend, the leaders made small get-to-know-you groups for fun. They made a skit or song based on 5 commonalities they shared. Enjoy.
