All Things Anglican by Throup (Review)
Marcus Throupโs All Things Anglican offers anyone who seeks to know more about this particular tradition within the Christian faith an excellent overview and place to start.

Walking in Godโs Wisdom: The Book of Proverbs by Quinn (Review)
Most books of the Bible have an obvious internal coherence. Itโs easy to understand why an unfolding narrative or the argument of an epistle is presented as a book in our Bibles. But, for many of us, the book of Proverbs evades this sort of analysis. The book of Proverbs seems to be a collection…

People who know me in real life consider me to be an โanti-social mediaโ evangelist. I not only am unabashed in my attempt to encourage people to leave these websites (or at least severely diminish their time on them), but I also have grave concerns regarding the way these websites encourage us to speak and…
