Don't forget, that my publisher is offering to give a free book to anyone who is willing to write an Amazon review (presumably a good one!).
This is for the book that's coming out officially in November, Praying the Psalms: The Divine Gateway to Lectio Divina and Contemplative Prayer
If you're interested, send me an email at [email protected], (in case you can't see the email, it's my first name JIM "at" my last name PAPANDREA "dot" net).
I'll need your name as you want it for shipping, your address, email address (if you want to use a different one than the one from which you email me), and your phone number (I assume for shipping forms). Do this by tomorrow morning if you want in.
BTW, here's the book, already on Amazon for pre-order:
I mentioned in The Journey that I wrote a song based on Isaiah 2, which is one of my favorite OT passages:
In days to come, the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest mountain, and raised above the hills.
All nations shall stream toward it. Many peoples shall come and say:
“Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations, and set terms for many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again. House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!
I hope you like the song!
This is Michael Knowles' commentary on the murder of Charlie Kirk, and directly on the press conference about the arrest - In the middle is a great speech by the governor of Utah - overall excellent stuff if you have 1.5 hr to spend on it
with some Florida colleagues - all of them Protestant, but with varying traditions on the Eucharist - it was encouraging to hear how there are some Protestant denominations that have a real respect for the Sacrament (and I'm not talking about Anglicans or even Lutherans):
