Two Useful Things
Well, as we all await an update on Mark's sabbatical, I have two things that I have been finding particularly useful in the past weeks.
The first is Stories With Intent by Klyne Snodgrass. I am preaching through Jesus' parables for the second time, and I am really glad to have this book for this tour of duty. It's thorough without being inaccessible. The author is ruthlessly faithful to what the text actually says and the book provides a lot of critical (but winsome) interaction with popular and scholarly interpretations of the parables. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth every penny.
The second is Help and Hope, the podcast from CCEF. The most recent installment is David Powlison talking about the stages of grief. Now, I admit that I would subscribe to a podcast of David Powlison reading a cookbook, but these are really very helpful. Winston Smith's piece on marriage counseling was particularly good.
