My friend Mike's Open letter to Nathan Rees made the news.

Nice.

Jensen on Calvin in The Australian

Michael Jensen, (whom I meant to jog with this morning, and *totally* slept through *two* alarms) wrote a piece today on Calvin that was published in The Australian. Take a read HERE. 

It is a worthy read, and I'm proud that he has this voice in the Op-Ed pages of the secular newspapers. More of it, I say.

Have I got an Amen?

Two People...

Here are two people that I am proud of (if this be not condescending):

Michael Jensen and I have been friends for over 20 years (since High School). He recently spoke on the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission) about his new book YOU. Do yourself a favour: take 20 minutes to listen to >>>THIS. MPJ has found a voice that is evangelical, honest, gracious and true. It's new apologetics.

Luke Woodhouse is a dear friend and he was one of my MTS guys at St Ives. Love Luke and his wife Vicki. Luke gives warm testimony to Sydney Anglican preaching >>>HERE. It is worth your time for a 2 minute read - "Five Things I Love about Sydney Anglican Preaching". Luke's Blog is shaping up. It might be worth you making his Blog a regular.

Working on the ten posts on travel.

Kudos...

I'm out tonight to visit a couple, then back tonight to post '200 Words: Promote Preaching with Gravitas'.

But before I do:

A. You probably need to read Michael Jensen's two posts: Preaching like Peter Roebuck and The Ten Worst Habits of Preachers.

B. And Kudos to the RodeoClown who fixed up my yellow link issues. (If you using a reader, click through to my blog, and you'll see the yellow links as usual! And they change to orange after you've clicked on them). Tell me if this is better.

Kudos all around.

HIM: For YOU

Micheal Jensen wrote the book YOU: An Introduction.

Jensen is now writing a book about HIM. Its all about God.

He'd appreciate your thoughts -- just click HERE.

Who knows? Your comments may end up in a book.

Pic is a score to Handel's Messiah. I couldn't think of a Graphic to describe the one 'who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see'.

______________________________

I bought YOU today for a mere $US10:99

YOU was quite cheap.

Am I the first person in the US to buy YOU?

I wonder if my US readers might by YOU too?

Buy it in HERE in the United States. (Or HERE in Aus).

My friend wrote a book about You...

This is the first time anyone of my close friends wrote a book. Check out this photo from 1987.

I feel like I've come of age.

COMING IN NOVEMBER FROM MATTHIAS MEDIA/Good Book Co UK:

YOU: An Introduction is a book about being a human. It is not as easy as it looks, being a human person. Each chapter addresses a different facet of human life – being a child, owning stuff, being male and female, having and being a body, dying, death and what comes after. What is like to be one of these things in the contemporary world? And what does the Bible say about this, especially in the light of the life of the best human who ever lived? A unique feature of the book is that it contains comments, questions and discussion that came from originally blogging the material – comments which take the argument in often unexpected directions.

YOU: An Introduction is a book that will be of interest to anyone – and it should challenge them/you, whether they are Christian or not, about what having a human life means.
