Book of the Month -- "The Heavenly Man"

This book is next on my reading list, as it came highly recommended by some dear and trusted brothers in Christ.

Have you read it?  If so, what are your thoughts?

May the Lord make us more like Himself, daily, as we submit our very lives to Him.

Let's Do Some Reading!

Howdy friends!

Here are two articles I just printed, and plan to read with the Mrs. in the next day or two:

• "Food Forest Gardens", by Jason T.
• "Exchanging Fear for Fear" by Kevin DeYoung

Will you read them with me, and add your comments, below?  Thanks!

"Normal Kingdom Business"

Big thanks go out to Dad & Mom for having us over last night for "hanga-burgers" (what the Dear Wife used to call them as a child, I think).  This photo op was forced upon me, but it was fun, after all:

This morning started out really well, since the Man-Cub and I got to go over to Manly John's house and have a "prayer breakfast" with some authentic and Christ-like brothers in the faith.  We had huckleberry pancakes (a Montana treat), farm-fresh eggs, and sausage.  Hungry yet?

On my lunch break today, I picked up some books I had put on hold at the library.  (Both were about timber framing houses, which causes me to salivate with delight... but I digress.)  As I was leaving, I browsed the used-books-for-sale rack, and for $1, picked up this title:

I had never heard of the author, though I have heard of (and appreiate) WORLD Magazine, which she writes for.  I googled her name, and here's what came up.  I hope you enjoy it.

The Last Pilgrims

Today, on of my favorite "indie" (independent) authors, Michael Bunker, is promoting his latest novel by hosting what he calls a "book bomb" on Amazon.  This is when an author attempts to promote their book by driving as customers as he can toward buying his book on Amazon, therby raising the "ranking" of the book, which in turn makes the book more popular and prominent Amazon.  I can't think of any more successful way for an independent author to make a widespread impact with their work, without the fat coffers of major book distributors.

It's like granola for your mind.  Especially in this case.

Mr. Bunker is a theologian and historian, in equally high capacities.  Having read his recent book "Surviving Off Off-Grid" (no, that's not a typo), I can't overstate how the Lord has used his writings to positively impact my life and increase my faith.  Now, his much-anticipated novel "The Last Pilgrims" is available for sale, and buying it today will help his efforts to reach a wider audience with some much-needed and truthful perspective on today's global and national culture.  Much like JWR's "Patriots", "The Last Pilgrims" promises to be both entertaining and highly-educational.

Remember, "Leaders are Readers"... buy your copy of "The Last Pilgrims" TODAY ("book bomb day").  And please leave a comment to this post, if you did.

God bless your day.
