Contributed article on Star Wars and SeminaryThanks to this blog, I’m now published in two anthologies. The first was “The Legend of Zelda and Theology” last fall. And now the second is in “Keeping the Faith in Seminary” edited by Ellen Roscher. It would be a great book for the soon-to-be seminarian who is in [...]
As you recall, a few months back we polled our readership for features for a United Methodist iPhone app. It was ludicrous that it’s 2011 and there’s no official UMC app for one of the places where people’s eyes are the most: the iPhone. Ludicrous. Luckily, that’s been changed. There’s now an official UMC App [...]
#SpeakEasyDarwinPrayerDisclaimer: I received this book free via Mike Morrell and the viralbloggers network. I’m happy to review materials with the only stipulation that I am able to write my own opinions. So I can be bought…but what you buy may not be what you expected! Ha! Darwin and the Church was a topic recently on UMNS. A [...]
Storytime with Uncle TonyNote: I received this book for free from the Viralbloggers network. As usual, while I’m happy to review relevant material, I do so without any restriction on what I write. Enjoy! If you are a preacher or devotional leader, Stories that Feed Your Soul by Tony Campolo is a great book. It [...]
Process Theology without the Bothersome WorldviewDisclaimer: I received this book free via Mike Morrell. I’m happy to review materials with the only stipulation that I am able to write my own opinions. So I can be bought…but what you buy may not be what you expected! Ha! This review is pretty academic, so sorry in [...]
This is a book review as part of being an Ooze select blogger. As always, while reviews can be bought, the content is my own honest opinion! Usually I put together a long review for subjects that I’m passionate about: peace and justice are often those topics. However, the Economy of Love video curriculum is [...]
I almost swerved off the road several times yesterday. Not for imbibing or DWS (Driving Whilst Shaving) or DWSML (…My Legs) but because I was listening to an audiobook of Stuff Christians Like. Jonathan Acuff is a blogger on the popular StuffChristiansLike.net and the man is just hilarious. The tagline “100% funnier than The Shack” is [...]
This is a gifted review. As always, while I claim I can be bought, buying me doesn’t guarantee you will get gold stars…but hopefully you will get good feedback! I was gifted a copy of iPastor from the developer of this iPhone application. It’s basically a CRM for pastors that allows you to input a person’s contact info but [...]
It is unfortunate when I pick up a book that looks interesting and realize it is totally not written with me in mind. The Diversity Culture by Matthew Raley is that kind of book which is written to evangelicals who find themselves increasingly feeling isolated and incommunicable to the diversity of contemporary society. Given that (a) [...]
A seminary friend on Facebook pointed me in the direction of the Glo: The Bible for a Digital World (website here). It’s an interactive bible with pictures, video, timelines, articles, and an NIV bible for notes and presentations. It seemed like a good resource for bible studies of all ages, so I picked it up [...]
