A few links

This post is just a bit of a round-up of some things I've been reading / listening to for the past few weeks.

Very impressed with Word & Spirit . Extended interviews with Craig Keener and Peter Davids can be found if you type their respective names into the search engine.

I've been reading The Storm by Vince Cable. I was looking for something to help me understand the present financial crisis. Cable's book does that and much more. It is very informative, but in an accessible way. And it's not heavy with banking jargon and number crunching. I picked it up from The Book People for £4.99. A real bargain.

Cookiesdays is one of my favourite blogs. It points you in so many fruitful directions.

My good friend Paul Sinclair has written a book Now Open Sundays . Great book to give to your not yet Christian friends. Very humorous but with a clear message.

This article was an eye-opener about world population; the problem the world faces is not one of too many people, but one of too much greed. Now there's a thought.

What's out there

I heard Clive James' spot on Radio 4 as I was shifting equipment from our church building to the school where we meet on Sunday morning. He is so cloever, funny and perceptive. You can read it read it here . And you will find a link to an audio if you prefer or listen to that distinctive dry-but-sincere Aussie voice.

I found the story of Michael Newitt in the Times Online fascinating - and sad. He successfully pretended to be an MI5 agent for 2 years!

David Cooke's blog is one I have found very informative and he points you in the direction of lots of good resources.

This post from the reliable J. Lee Grady really should be read by those who think Obama is going to be the saviour of the free world.
