So I was cleaning out my office today and under the chair in which Tristan usually sits and listens to my ipod I found a random box of Why We’re Not Emergent books. Needless to say I’d like to get rid of these, so here’s what I’ll do: You can paypal me $10 to k_luck96@hotmail.comandmy [...]
Any writer worth his salt will tell you to never bother reading Amazon.com reviews. They’re like a millstone around an author’s neck. You never come away from a period of time reading your own reviews on Amazon feeling anything close to good, refreshed, or encouraged. You feel creepy, egotisticaland dirty, even if the reviews are [...]
If you’ve read many Christian books you’ve been exposed to blurbs – those are the fawning statements about the book that appear both on the back cover and, if you’re lucky, one or two pages on the inside as well.

NBA Summer League games may be the one and only truly “free” product available anywhere in the universe, as it comes without all of the junk that usually accompanies an NBA telecast, including, [...]
Of course, any discussion of this nature begins and ends with the Zen Master himself, who was emergent before emergent was emergent. I’ll add that this list was much more difficult, though, and as it is a blog that isn’t currently generating any income for me, I didn’t spend a lot of time on it. [...]
Writing at 6:41 A.M. from a college dormitory at Moody Bible College. This is my first full-fledged extended speaking gig, as Kevin DeYoung and I are speaking twice a day in an auditorium here on campus, about Why We’re Not Emergent (by Two Guys Who Should Be).
