What? Book fast?
Meltdown!



I am too depressed.
I am going to the bookstore.
I cannot guarantee that I will behave.

Update: Meltdown!


Alister McGrath (ed.),
The Christian Theological Reader, (Blackwell, 2006)

Book Description
This bestselling volume is now available in a fully updated and expanded 3rd edition, bringing together 361 readings drawn from 233 different sources, and charting the 2,000 years of Christian history.
  • Each reading illustrates a key doctrine, point of view, intellectual development, or theological landmark
  • Exceptionally user-friendly: every reading is accompanied by its own introduction, commentary, and study questions
  • Features increased coverage of Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and women writers, and includes important sources from patristic, medieval, reformation, and modern periods
  • A new section provides a bird's-eye view of the historical development of Christian theology, allowing users to locate a reading against its historical context
  • Additional writers featured include: Yves Congar, Walter Kasper, Bernard Lonergan, Bonaventure, Duns Scotus, Stanley Hauerwas, John Paul II, C. S. Lewis, Maximus the Confessor, Rosemary Radford Ruether, Dorothee Souml;lle, Dumitru Staniloae, and Rowan Williams.
How could I resist? I only hope I won't get depressed too often now that bookstores are just a walk away.

Father I thank You

Father I thank You For all that You've done You gave Your Son freely for me And I praise You for calling me Drawing me near Out of blindness You caused me to see Spirit of life You are God's holy fire You've kindled my heart with Your blaze And I know You're refining me Changing my life And by faith You're revealing Your ways Jesus I need You As Lord of my life I give all I have unto You Lord I want to come Under Your heavenly hand And to praise You in all that I do ~ Steve Stewart pearlie Update 7 Nov 2015: I finally found a YouTube video of this song and have just included it above.
