Catch this FREE Book!

Caught Off Guard: Encounters with the Unexpected God is a book where the writer draws from various events in Scripture to show how God extended mercy to someone who didn't deserve it, or exhibited His power and might in unprecedented ways.

The book is divided into four major sections: God shows you his heart; God calms our fears; God provides what you need; and God radically transforms you. The book is written from a decidedly Christian viewpoint, as the author spends the bulk of each chapter discussing a certain passage of Scripture or a specific event. I found the footnotes helpful for following the portion of Scripture referenced. At times the author did a superb job in intermingling Bible stories with real life stories, dealing with the same scriptural principal. More often than not, however, the flow of a chapter was unnatural as he attempted to weave the Biblical principle into everyday life.

This book is best read in little chunks and with plenty of time to reflect upon what was just read. At the end of every chapter the author gives you four groups of questions to challenge you to own the chapter's content. For example, at the end of the chapter titled "Are you growing in humble honesty?," the author asks "What are some godly reasons to evaluate the negatives of your life?" This is an excellent question not only for the reader to meditate on, but also could be the beginning of a lively discussion with someone.

Armchair Interview says: A quiet read for personal reflection.

There's something Finney going on around here.
Maybe a caption will explain everything...

Royal Comment with British Humour

The Queen has sent her first ever comment to Calvinistic Cartoons while opening an information technology gallery at the Science Museum.
The message, which went out at 11:49 pm to the 419 followers (and the Google Plus members) of the Calvinistic Cartoons blog, read: "Look! Isn't that Mary Poppins? NO...wait a second...that's the Queen of England, I tells ya!  Elizabeth R."

Cos Play or Cos Work?

While in Dallas for a book signing, (see Saturday, October 18 post) Corky and I visited Calvinistic Cartoon fan, Forest Stump, to see the costume he created for a Harvest Festival at his church. Needless to say, we were impressed!

Successful blogging is not about one time hits. It’s about building a loyal following over time. Anyone out there got the time?                                                             (thanks to David Aston)

Getz the FREE Book!

The body of Christ can’t be all that it should be unless we mature in our interpersonal relationships as the Bible commands. Building Up One Another has been helping believers do just that since 1976, when Gene Getz first published what has since become a best-selling classic. This book, the cornerstone of the well-known “One Another Series,” has now been thoroughly updated and rewritten, drawing upon Dr. Getz’s church planting and “building up” experience. It also includes a personal and group study.

Explore with Dr. Getz twelve significant “one another” commands of the New Testament, and follow the practical steps for developing them in your own life and in the life of your church. It’s a long-term building process, but one that pleases God and reaps rewards not just in this lifetime but in the next.


Getz the book HERE!

Booksigning!

Sorry...I was a little late posting this announcement.

David Crane (1 of 6)

Click to enlarge
The Adventures of David Crane, Young Minister, was a daily strip that began on February 27, 1956. For the next six days I will post a sample of this newspaper strip. The world has changed a great deal since then. This kind of comic strip would not stand a chance in our inclusive world today.

I can't take credit for it, even though since it is from a time-traveler, it could very well be me.
