Book Review of “The Case for Christ”

Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ might be a strange book to have a review for on a site like this. As one can easily gather from the title, it is an argument for Jesus to be the Lord of our lives. And so, if you are here, you have probably already read the book, or, as a believer, you'd have the quite natural question: Why should I read it? But I would encourage you to read it, or even reread it. If you are like me, you read the book many years ago, either as a nonbeliever or as a brand-new Christian. And as a book for the nonbeliever or brand-new Christian, it is unquestionably a book of great value. Yet I submit that for the more seasoned believer, there are still more lessons to be gleaned from the book that might have been inaccessible to us when we were infants in the faith.

Book Review of “The Politics of Obedience”

I come to you now with The Politics of Obedience (circa 1552) by Étienne de La Boétie (1530–1563). In a very real way, La Boétie is the reformer of political thought in the same way that Luther was the reformer of the Catholic Church, except that where Luther's Reformation took hold and flourished, La Boétie's has never taken hold to the same extent, though his ideas have influenced thinkers over the centuries. Here is a book worth reading and really worth ruminating over. Given how brief it is (only about 80 pages in this edition) it is one that you ought not delay in reading.

Wisdom in the Best Books and Films

Jacob Bair recently ran for office in Oklahoma. That is how we met. Then I found out that we also share a love of good books and seeking wisdom. He has both a substack and a podcast and is a wealth of information! I asked him if he had an index to his work and he said no but that he would create one and that he did. Here it is (shared with permission); the links at the end of each listing go to the article or episode in his substack:

Book Review of “Don’t Sit This One Out”

Politics doesn’t have to be your thing for your vote to matter. If elections leave you wondering where to start, what all those offices actually do, or how you're supposed to sort reliable information from political noise, Don't Sit This One Out was written for you. In this practical, easy-to-follow guide, Cheryl Wilburg walks through the voting process from a citizen's point of view—not a political insider's. You'll explore why participation matters, why the offices farther down the ballot deserve your attention, how to research candidates and claims without becoming overwhelmed, and how to make your own decisions when everyone around you seems eager to make them for you.

Ron Wyatt and his Amazing Archaeological Discoveries

A man named Ron Wyatt discovered the Ark of the Covenant hidden in caves in the area of Jerusalem beneath the actual crucifixion site of Jesus.  He found on the Mercy Seat some of the dried blood that spilled from our Lord’s side that day and as you will remember there was an earthquake and the temple veil was rent from top to bottom.  Apparently some of that blood made its way into the earth and down into the cave and landed on the Mercy Seat.  Now does that sound like something God would do and reveal His hand in the matter to you?
