Well, we finally did it. We have taken our first foray into the wizarding world of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter. Good thing we pick books who’s authors and contents are never in any way controversial. We start out by discussing some of the controversy surrounding these books in the evangelical world and why we have decided to read them. We hope that you enjoy them as mach are we did/are.

Happy Monday evening everybody (at least that is when I uploaded this, it may be Saturday for you for all I know) Anyway today we have a book that I would say was one of the more surprising books I have read recently. Surprising in the way that it was completely captivating in unexpected ways. We all hope that it was instructive and helpful and humbling and emotional and any other adjective that you would like to put with it.

Happy New Year everybody! So confession time, I was supposed to have this out a few weeks back but I am not doing so hot with my New Year resolution to get episodes edited and dropped in a timely manner, but hey at least I made it before calendar turned to February right?  Anyway we are back with an excellent book for the new year and that is Digital Liturgies by Samuel D. James. this is an excellent look at how our digital lives are shaping us and helps us to better evaluate our online habits. We hope this was a helpful book and discussion for you all.

Today we have Joseph Conrads book Heart of Darkness. This book is as chearful as it sounds. We do think it is worth the read in spite of some objectionable descriptions and ways of speech.
