Read All About It

Hey there ladies and gents! I don't have a whole lot to say right now but I just want to tell you all about a really great book I'm reading. It's called Letters from a Sceptic by Greg Boyd. It's a series of letters written between a father and son. Greg, the son, is a 14-year Christian and his father is an Atheist. The father (whose name escapes me) is writing to his son, asking him questions about his faith and His God. My own religious background may invalidate my recomendation of the book to some, but I think everyone should read it, and by everyone I mean Christians, Atheists, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and everyone else. If you are of the Christian faith, then this book will strengthen that faith. It has mine and I'm 50 pages into it. If you are of another faith and you live in the United States then you are, more than likely, being faced with Christian beliefs and rhetoric more often than you would like. I don't like it half the time. I'm not suggesting this book to make try to turn you into a TV-evangelical-watching, Hail-Mary-saying, Amening Christian. That's not my job. I'm recomending it because 1) I have found it interesting, 2) I want you to understand what's really going on in our crazy Christians heads when we talk about Jesus, and 3) I want you to have answers to give to people when they ask you why you don't believe the same as them. I'm not trying to "save" you, as many of my label-sharing friends like to do. I live in the Bible Belt, I get it. I'm sure some of my counter parts would disagree with my last point but, frankly, I don't care. But that's not what I'm talking about right now. So, everyone go check out Letters from a Sceptic by Greg Boyd! It's fantastic :)

Here's ya a bit o' scripture: "The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17
