So I've signed up for a new site I found out about called booksneeze. It gives you free books in return for reviewing them and posting the reviews on your blog and on a website, such as Amazon etc. Sounds like fun, so I'm gonna give it a try!http://www.booksneeze.com...

Digging through ancient texts

The Orthodox and Catholics have all the books from the Septuagint, which is what most of the early Christians would have known regarding the Old Testament. Those "extra" books that Protestants call the Deuterocanonical books (or that the general laypeople often refer to as 'The Apocrypha'), they're just part of the Old Testament the same as the more familiar OT books.During the Reformation in the 16th century, Luther decided to remove these books (and planned to remove some New Testament books too) as he believed they weren't canonical and cited Jerome as his authority to make this decision. It was Jerome ...

Controversy: Rob Bell's "Love Wins"

So the other night I decided to try get into this whole twitter thing. Yes, I know it's been around forever now but I never really "got it" and just stuck with Facebook. So I go on twitter and discover the trending topics and see a familiar name at the top of the list: Rob Bell.Now I do like Rob Bell and his nooma series etc so I decided to check it out and found what I wish I didn't..

You can get it here (a free sample is also available): http://amzn.to/ekIUih (or go to the US Kindle store: http://amzn.to/fFrqBG) Now to fill this blog out with something else to make it seem like its not all about plugging my new eBook: a little background.

That developed into comics and for many years I would draw a comic series that I began in about 1997 and continued...

Four Blood Moons and everyone loses their minds

Four Blood Moons and everyone loses their minds: According to NASA, there are about two lunar eclipses per year. This time there happens to be four all within 18 months - something astronomers call a tetrad.I’m slightly surprised I’ve not seen much about this yet (maybe a good thing?), but it does seem as though this is an event certain Christians have been waiting for - and writing books about! I came across this on a recent Huffington Post article which gives this story also about church leaders saying these moons are “an omen of Armageddon and Second Coming of Christ”, but I’m not so sure about that....
