I really like the style and the message. I've read through it several times.<BR/><BR/>I've also read Total Truth- took it on vacation a couple of years ago. Great book, but very different than Blue Like Jazz. Much more detailed and deeper. It's more of an "apologetics" book that looks at the truth and relevancy of Christianity in today's society. <BR/><BR/>I just started "God and the New Physics" by Paul Davies. It looks at advances in physics since Einstein and basically says "science doesn't need God any more to explain the universe". I'm about a quarter of the way though it and find it interesting, but some of his conclusions are very sketchy...<BR/><BR/>PCBC is going well. The HS and MS went back to their sunday school classes so I'm back to the adults. My son Joe went off this morning on his mission trip. 2 weeks of orientation in Atlanta, then on to Nicaragua. The church had a nice send-off for him yesterday.<BR/><BR/>ericEricnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777773975428010636.post-82370087545850955012008-09-06T23:10:00.000-04:002008-09-06T23:10:00.000-04:00school is going really well...i like it here a lot but it does get a bit lonesome at times, but God has been comforting me through those times...i will definitely check out "Prayer of Jabez" and its funny that you mentioned Blue like Jazz because I just started reading that...I also was told to check out Total Truth by Nancy R. Pearcey, have you heard of it...i hope you are doing well and that everyone else at PCBC is doing well...i miss you guys!erin provostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777773975428010636.post-28762327960617533232008-08-29T20:24:00.000-04:002008-08-29T20:24:00.000-04:00Hey Erin,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment! How are things at school? I think I heard you had a Christian roommate?<BR/><BR/>I haven't read that particular book, but it sounds great. Wilkinson also wrote the very popular "Prayer of Jabez" book a few years ago. It was an explanation of a very short prayer found in I Chronicles 4:9-10. <BR/><BR/>Glad you're reading some good Christian material. Besides the two commentaries on I Corinthians, I'm also reading a book on divorce (from a Christian persective). It's really a study of the topic and all it's references in both the Old and New Testaments.Ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777773975428010636.post-40742446679164883892008-08-29T17:16:00.000-04:002008-08-29T17:16:00.000-04:00I was just given the most amazing book before I headed off to school and I just wanted to strongly recommend it to everyone that was able to see this. It is called "Set Apart: Discovering Personal Victory Through Holiness" by Bruce Wilkinson. It is such an inspiring book and it has a lot of tips from Mr. Wilkinson about prayer and avoiding tempation and many many other things. Check it out when you get the chance...Erin Provostnoreply@blogger.com
