Links to begin the week

Links to previous posts on my blog

Jesus called for choices- he pushed people to make a decision about him.

Links to things I’ve read recently

Links to books I’ve started in the last week.

I usually have about 15 books going at once. These are ones that I have started in the last week. I often reread books that I find enlightening. I obviously don’t agree with every statement in these books. Often, I find books written by those without any Christian faith to be very stimulating as they are addressing issues that are faced by all people.

Sorry, I started no new books this week
