If you’re at a loss of what to read this summer, you should check out Image’s Top 100 Books of the Century.
I’m also helping develop (i.e. writing a tiny article) for their “Recommended Gazing” site, which will feature Christian artists from the past century. I’ll let you know when that’s [...]

This band, OverTheRhine, is my new favorite obsession. They are a hauntingly sweet, musically-diverse Christian band. Please–for your own soul’s sake–go to their website (overtherhine.com) and listen to their “radio”. They’re also teaching the songwriting workshop at Image’s Glen Workshop this summer.
I really like all the songs on their album “Drunkard’s Prayer,” (I’ve listened to [...]

I spent some time in the Biola Library yesterday– during which I discovered the glorious length of titles on many books published before 1900. Here is a sampling:
Lees, James, d. 1899.

“Blackbird” is a despicable misnomer; blackbirds are not black. They are thickly layered greens, blues, lavenders, pinks, which our minds call black because we have never seen a rainbow crafted from darkness.

“Music had stirred him like that. Music had troubled him many times. But music was not articulate. It was not a new world, but rather another chaos that it create in us. Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not [...]

Okay, so I uploaded some photos of my apartment onto the blog, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to “publish” them. (Becky, do you know how? If you do, would you mind sending them out?)

Yesterday was a bit of a crunch day at work because all new drafts need to get sent to authors today with gently worded cover letters. This is a delicate process.
