I get asked all the time about what books I read. I have started to write book reviews here on the blog and I have started using Goodreads.com, but some still ask about what I am reading in seminary.
So I thought I would share all the books I have read thus far in seminary at [...]

With Conan O’Brien ending his run on Late Night (because he is moving to 11:30 pm), I simply wish to point out that I am going to miss staying up late and seeing his show.
I have always loved his show and I can’t wait till it is on earlier so I can see it more. [...]

Have you ever noticed that when you are searching for something, that thing always seems to allude you?
But when you cease to look for it, you seem to find it.
Right now, there are many people who don’t have jobs. Many who don’t know how to pay the bills for next week. Many who can’t seem [...]

I was reading for seminary today out of the book, The Cross of Christ by John R. W. Stott and a quote he had hit me from Martin Luther to a monk in distress about his sins:
Learn to know Christ and him crucified. Learn to sing to him and say ‘Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, [...]

Well life has been quite interesting over the past few months. As some of you are aware, I recently got engaged. And quit my job.
I was working as a car salesman and hating it. Not because of the selling aspect, but because of the long hours (which conflicted with school) and long waiting (which drove [...]

Periodically, I will get emails from various book publishers telling me about some great books. And sometimes I will even get free books, which is always good.
I recently received a copy of the book Intimate Issues: 21 Questions Christian Women ask about sex.
This is a book that is obviously not for me. But I enjoyed [...]

Gosh, I am reading a lot of books quickly. It must be the fact that I have to do so about 2 or 3 hours a day so I am getting into a good habit.

As most of you know, I am big fan of books.
Here is one I thoroughly enjoyed and just finished:
Outliers – Malcolm Gladwell
Ever since I read the Tipping Point, I have tried to read everything that Malcolm Gladwell writes. This one is great in my opinion. It is about the story of success. Success in our [...]

This semester is going to be full of hours spent reading, contemplating and memorizing. It is going to be the toughest semester that I have ever had in school but honestly, I am thoroughly excited about it.
I truly enjoy my classes and how much I am learning in them. However, it is quite hard trying [...]
