The Most Bewildering Parable
Perhaps Jesus’ all-time most bewildering parable is that of the unjust steward (Luke 16:1-9). Is Jesus really saying it’s okay to misuse other people’s money?
The story is this. A rich guy (let’s call him Elon) has heard that his manager (let’s call him Andy) is wasting his money, maybe skimming some off the top. So Elon tells the manager to turn in the books. He’s fired.
Andy is desperate about how

Bob's review
of
And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle:
"Summary: The convictions shaping Lincoln’s public life including his opposition to slavery, the importance of the union, and his belief in providence.
One of the things I’ve appreciated about the writing of Jon Meacham is that he focuses on the format" Read more of this review » |

| Perhaps the most endearing post-apocalyptic novel you will ever read. Though I've not sailed Lake Superior as Rainy, our protagonist, I have sailed the San Juans which gave me some sense of his voyages. Enger asks readers not only how we might respon ...more | |

This novel set in the near future (more than exactly being sci-fi) is full of distinct, well-drawn characters. Richard Gesar, a Dali Lama-like world spiritual leader, is at once calming and eerie. Melanie is both a strong leader and well-portrayed as ...more |

For Christians, the cross may be so familiar that we cease to see it and be shocked by it. To help us, Bran Zahnd offers an untypical theology of the cross. As the author suggests, The Wood Between the Worlds is an exercise in theopoetics—akin to medi ...more |

| In our therapeutic age, all of us are sick but few of us are sinners. Michael Ovey seeks to correct this imbalance by springboarding off the themes of faith, repentance, and forgiveness as found in Luke-Acts. To do so Ovey focuses on the extra-large ...more | |
“Metaphors, similes, and analogies sharpen the sword of our writing. They allow us to cut quickly through the fat to the meat of our purpose (p. 146).”

“Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully.”

“I deal with writer’s block by lowering my expectations. I think the trouble starts when you sit down to write and imagine that you will achieve something magical and magnificent—and when you don’t, panic sets in. The solution is never to sit down and imagine that you will achieve something magical and magnificent. I write a little bit, almost every day, and if it results in two or three or (on a good day) four good paragraphs, I consider myself a lucky man. Never try to be the hare. All hail the tortoise.”
