I discovered a band called Citizens through a friend on Facebook the other day. These guys are from Seattle, and have an incredible sound. If you are a David Crowder fan, you need to give these guys a listen. I’m pretty impressed, and have had this playing all week.
Right now, you can get their latest album free on Noisetrade. I don’t know how long this will last, so if you want it, you’d better grab it while it’s there.
Enjoy this video of one of the songs on this album, called I Am Living In A Land Of Death.
Prayer and praise are the oars by which a man may row his boat into the deep waters of the knowledge of Christ.
I’m afraid to ask God why he allows poverty, war, and suffering in this world because I’m afraid he’ll ask me the same question.
Be The Dad She Needs You To Be by Dr. Kevin Leman (Nashville, Tennessee: Thomas Nelson, 2014)
As a father of three daughters, this book caught my eye. This book by Dr. Kevin Leman is a call to dads to step it up when it comes to their daughters. Daughters need a dad that is loving, and is actively engaged in their life. Dr. Leman claims that this father-daughter relationship is the most important relationship in her life.
This promises to be a great resource for dads of daughters to add to their arsenal. Look for my full review in a few days. In the meantime, you can find it on Amazon.com.
Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing.
The Watchers in Jewish and Christian Traditions by Angela Kim Harkins, Kelley Coblentz Bautch, and John C Endres, S. J., Editors (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2014)
I received this book a few days ago from Fortress Press. I’m not sure I will agree with it completely, since I think the pertinent passages in Genesis should be read a bit differently. However, I’m interested to see how this has been treated through the centuries. Look for my full review in a few days.
The Israeli Solution by Caroline B. Glick (New York: Crown Forum, 2014)
This is what I’ve been reading this week…
Peace in the Middle East has been elusive for generations. A native of Jerusalem, and deeply involved in the negotiations surrounding Israel and its neighbors, Glick has a first-hand view of events, and a good idea of what it might take to establish peace. That’s what The Israeli Solution is all about.
