Who is Your Proxy?

Ed Vasicek

Two old friends bumped into one another on the street one day. One of them looked forlorn, almost on the verge of tears. His friend asked, “What has the world done to you, my old friend?”

The sad fellow said, “Let me tell you. Three weeks ago, my uncle died and left me forty thousand dollars.”

“That’s a lot of money.”

“And, two weeks ago, a cousin I never even knew died, and left me eighty-five thousand dollars.”

“Sounds like you’ve been blessed!”

“You don’t understand!” he interrupted. “Last week my great-aunt passed away. I inherited almost a quarter of a million.”

Now the friend was really confused. “Then, why do you look so sad?”

“This week…nothing!”

Book Review - A New Testament Biblical Theology by G. K. Beale

Bob Hayton

[amazon 0801026970 thumbnail]

Christians today are blessed with a wide variety of resources for studying the Bible. In America, it seems that every few months some must-read theology book hits the press and promises to revolutionize our understanding of God’s Word. And many of these books truly are helpful. We really have no excuse for not understanding Scripture more and being more conformed into the likeness of Christ, given the endless resources meant to help us do just this.

Ann Voscamp

Crystal

I vaguely remember hearing some objections to Ann Voscamp and her works raised. I don’t recall the context it was brought up in but I seem to remember it had something to do with mystic writers. Since then I have seen so many people recommend her book and website. People that I normally heed in their recommendations. I have read a few of her blog posts and appreciated them. Her blog post on 25 things our sons need to know I appreciated very much.
