Do you ever feel intimidated or distracted when reading the Bible? All the verse and chapter breaks, footnotes and study notes, margins, colors, and cross-references?
Or maybe you’ve wondered why reading the Bible can’t be as simple as reading a novel and just enjoying the story? Well, maybe you need a Reader’s Bible.
The previous (first) letter from Screwtape was sort of an introduction to demonic influence on human life and behavior. It seems, then, Screwtape Letter 2 is an expounding work about guarding a new “convert” from saving faith or at least meaningful growth in their faith.
Since I’m on a CS Lewis kick and some friends, my wife, and I are going through the Screwtape Letters week by week, I decided to begin a blog series on it. I’ll be mostly offering commentary and observations based on my own experience, and maybe some scripture references.
This first post is sort of an introduction to the Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis. Here I will be talking about the book as a whole and go over the preface written by Lewis himself. Lewis was a long-winded intellectual, you see, and even his remarks on his own works are interesting.
This is part 2 of a very summarized version of my mother-in-law’s autobiography. Make sure to read part 1 first.
At the end of part 1 Susan had graduated from a life of order and discipline at a Catholic school. But the trials still didn’t stop there…
Most people browsing the internet don’t pay much attention to the bar at the top of their page containing the address of the website they are on.
If you did notice, however, you saw a lock symbol followed by the new prefix for BibleBooth.com: HTTPS. That means that Bible Boothe is now secured with what is called SSL encryption.
It’s the time of year again we start to see those familiar articles popping up: is Halloween evil? Can Christians participate in Halloween? Meanwhile here I am googling Christian Halloween costumes for adults.
Of course, I’m going to write one of those articles myself. But for now just let me have my fun. I already looked up some Biblical Halloween costumes for kids, and now it’s time to help out the adults.
Halloween, Fall Fellowship Festival, Trunk-Or-Treat, Harvest Hay Rides, Chick-Fil-A dress-up night… These are things the kiddos are gonna need costumes for. What’s better than Biblical Halloween costumes for kids?
If you’re brave or lighthearted enough to join the harmless fun of children’s Halloween costume gatherings AND put a Biblical spin on it, you’re definitely in the right place.
Earlier this year my mother-in-law published her life memoir in book form. I’m horrible at keeping the habit of reading (ironic for a blogger, I think,) so I just finished it a few weeks ago.
I gotta say I do have the whole family bias thing, nonetheless I’ll be reviewing the book fairly. It has its pros and cons just like other books, so don’t think I’m playing favorites.
Dang, Pureflix! Back at it again with the horrible Bible movies.
Today I’ll be reviewing (mostly critiquing) Pureflix’s 2009 film “The Book of Ruth: Journey of Faith.”
Grab your grandma and your mother-in-law, cuz those are the only people who are going to love this glorified chick flick.
