I have not posted anything on this site in quite a while. I could explain why, but that is another post altogether. Why am I posting today? The quick answer is I listened to Andy Crouch’s The Tech-Wise Family for the third time. The Tech-Wise Family, if you’ve never heard of it, is a book…

Race Matters
Cornel West is one of the most charitable people when engaging in public arguments. I have watched him on Bill Maher’s HBO show on several occasions and I always appreciate his thoughts. Whether I agree with him or not, he adds to the conversation with well-constructed arguments. He adds to the conversation with fierce rebuttals….
Reclaiming Conversation
As I was listening to the end of the audiobook of The Tech-Wise Family by Andy Crouch, he mentioned that if there was one book that you should read after his, it would be Sherry Turkle’s Reclaiming Conversation. Since I enjoyed The Tech-Wise Family so much, I asked for Reclaiming Conversation for Christmas. I am…
Writers to Read
“A writer needs friends who simply benefit from knowing him, which is another way of saying that good writers need good readers. And just as writers need to work at it to write well, so also readers should work at it in order to be able to read well. My hope in this book of…
When the Man Comes Around
“Though St. John the Evangelist saw many strange monsters in his vision, he saw no creature so wild as one of his own commentators.”[i] This quote by GK Chesterton is in bold letters on the back of Douglas Wilson’s When the Man Comes Around: A Commentary on the Book of Revelation. In one sentence, Chesterton…
Cribsheet

Made for More
My next book to review is Made for More by Hannah Anderson. It is a book about living in God’s image and what that means for our lives. Hannah is a gifted writer and thinker. I have read Humble Roots and All That’s Good (I’ve reviewed the former) and I wanted to complete the trilogy….
On Writing
I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday! I recently finished On Writing by Stephen King and I wanted to share my review with you. The book is basically a memoir on his life of writing, along with helpful tips for aspiring writers. I also think that reading it helps me understand the way people go…
The Color of Compromise
For February, I decided to read The Color of Compromise by @jemartisby. It is Black History Month after all. Not to mention, I have often heard people make indictments on the church for racist actions throughout the whole history of the US. In this book, you will find what those actions were (and are). The Color…
CS Lewis on the Christian Life
My next review is CS Lewis on the Christian Life. I have become quite the Lewis fan recently, and I was excited for this book, even though I’m not a huge fan of the series. Fortunately, thanks to Joe Rigney, I had a great experience! The purpose of the book is to take the reader…
