Musings

A while back I posted a very brief overview of Windows 8 after I had test-driven it for about a week. Alas, it was a pretty negative review, primarily because of the fact that Windows 8 is such a touch-centric operating system. It's both a strength…

From my experience with my local church as well as the prevailing sentiment from others I have spoken to, a big challenge that the Universal Church (or at the very least, protestants) faces right now is how to disciple people. Efforts tend to be…

DISCLAIMER: I received a copy of this book from the publisher for the purpose of this review. "The unlikely theory that will change how you view culture, the church, and most importantly, yourself" is the apt subtitle for one of the most intriguing…
