I still don’t read much but I do occasionally love getting caught up in a great story. That’s cool that your husband has been to El Salvador! Glad to hear he enjoyed it.

I actually went back through it today to finish typing up the quotes I wanted to remember, and was surprised again at how much I need it, especially in the realm of complaining. I really don’t think of myself as a “complainer” but when I listen to different things that come out of my mouth, um, it’s complaining.<br /><br />I’m not really sure what to expect from Christianity and Liberalism. It’s not a book I probably would have chosen to read on my own so I’m glad I’ll have Challies’ group to lean on. Your book sounds interesting; I hope you’ll do a review when you’re finished with it.Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-8938466322427954062011-05-24T20:44:17.845-05:002011-05-24T20:44:17.845-05:00That's a great idea about reading fiction to g...That's a great idea about reading fiction to get a sense of a place.

It's SO good.<br /><br />While I'm not reading <i>Christianity and Liberalism</i> along with the Challies' book club, I am looking forward to reading the book club's thoughts on the topic. I've recently read a few articles talking about the history of liberal theology, fundamentalism, and evangelicalism--and I'm curious to learn a bit more. My curiosity is also piqued because I'm currently reading an "Introduction to Christianity" that includes some pretty liberal theology--and I'm interested in learning a bit about how this (dare I say wacko?) theology developed.bekahcubedhttp://bekahcubed.menterz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-21997009006757432182011-05-24T11:31:46.949-05:002011-05-24T11:31:46.949-05:00Hmmmm ...

Sometimes you run into churches that lean heavily one way or the other too (I know firsthand), but of course it's always best to blend both. If you like Piper books, you’d enjoy this one too. I like that he’s heavy on scripture.<br /><br />Kara,<br />I have never seen Stephen Altrogge's blog. I hesitate to go find it though because do I need to add another blog to Google Reader? No! ha. This is my first Michael Horton book. I'm finding he asks lots of the same questions I do, but he answers them. :-)Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-38239268630944210402011-05-24T09:47:17.105-05:002011-05-24T09:47:17.105-05:00Hmmm...I enjoy Michael Horton so I might have to c...Hmmm...I enjoy Michael Horton so I might have to check that one out.
