Glimpses: August

A new issue of Glimpses comes out tomorrow. It features an interview with Andy Crouch (author of Culture Making) and amazing photography by Cinde Rawn (I’d like to spend a day or two seeing the world through her eyes).

For those of you who aren’t subscribed but would like to be, you can sign-up on the handy-dandy link to your right. You’ll get a free copy of a Bible study tool using some literary structures to understand stories of the Bible.

I should be a town crier. (My husband tells me I cry enough.)

Tapestry: Living Christianly in a Post-Christian Culture

I posted at Tapestry the promised discussion from the panel last weekend at the Christian Book Expo, "Living Christianly in a Post-Christian Culture" with authors Donald Miller, Randy Frazee, Mary DeMuth, and Ruth Haley Barton and moderated by Andy Crouch.

Because of the broadness of the subject matter, I pulled out three points from the panel. A taste:

"Our Christianity is pagan and looks more like voodoo than it does the
Christianity of the Bible. Following American materialism, our
Christianity has become consumerism. Have an unhappy, uncontented life?
Consume some Jesus."

Read the rest here.

Also, Mary DeMuth posted her beginning and closing statements from the session on her blog. I highly recommend reading at least her opener. I found it hard to restrain myself from a hearty "Amen" (or "So say we all," for fellow BSG fans–no, don’t discuss the finale here; I haven’t seen it yet).
