I had the opportunity to read a book over the past week or so that I believe is an important type of book that more men need to be reading. More importantly than just reading the book, it encourages and trains men to look for counsel from other men in their lives to help them with their growth, wisdom, maturity and obedience in Christ. The title of the book is “Wise Guys: Unlocking the Hidden Wisdom From the Men Around You”. Wise Guys Need More “MENtorship” Over the past year or so I’ve had the blessing and opportunity to be a part of a men’sRead More →

It’s been awhile since I’ve even really thought about picking up a new Bible. The main reason is because since I’ve had my smart phone or Kindle, the majority of all of my Bible reading is done on my mobile device. I enjoy the convenience of having the Bible in digital version available at my fingertips, with all the translations and quick access to the Internet to do a quick search on something I just read. But, sometimes you need to hold The Word in your hand as you read it and digest it. Do you agree? I had the opportunity to take a look atRead More →

I originally was going to say the number of marriages that are struggling, but I want everyone to know that most marriages I know struggle and that’s normal. The challenge is to stick with it and do what it takes to work through struggles. Struggles can be seen as a sort of exercise for your marriage. There’s strain, and resistance and sometimes pain. Maybe even the phrase “blood, sweat and tears” play intoRead More →

I’ve been working on reading a book by Gary Chapman and Arlene Pellicane called “Growing Up Social: Raising Relational Kids In A Screen-Driven World“. You’re probably familiar with Gary Chapman and his book “The 5 Love Languages”. In this book, the authors deal with the issue of our kids growing up in a society where they’re constantly connected. They are continually confronted with screens around them with constantly moving pictures and audio. Reading this book should equip you with the following skills and actions you can begin using immediately to make a difference in your family. Equip your child to be relationally rich in aRead More →

I did something today that I haven’t done in quite awhile, perhaps since college… read an entire book in less than 24 hours. The book was an advance copy of a new book titled “Overrated” by Eugene Cho that I was contacted about to read and review. The sub-title is “Are we more in love with the idea of changing the world than actually changing the world?” As the author admits in the very beginning of the book, it’s as much a confession of his own challenges as it is a calling-on-the-carpet to others who may find themselves in the same motivational struggles. There was aRead More →
