Previous Post – To Love With Money

• My friend JR Woodward, who I discovered via the Ecclesia Network, is getting published by IVPress (they have good taste in authors!).  Check out an advanced look at his book cover (above) & read a brief synopsis.  I can hardly wait to read it!
• One of the fun things about getting published is that I occasionally get asked to read & endorse new books.  One such invitation came for the forthcoming book “Thin Places: Six Postures for Creating and Practicing Missional Community” by Jon Huckins & Rob Yackley.  I’m only 3 chapters in and already think it’s a winner.
• Kurt Willems gets a very interesting and helpful discussion on the Apostles Creed (and creeds in general).  Worth read the post and the comments that follow.
• The Mustard Seed Associates ran an article I wrote about Little Flowers Community.  Check it out, make some comments & ask some questions.  (Keep your eyes open for part 2, a look at our Chiara House project).
• Scot McKnight explores John Howard Yoder’s take on the death penalty.  For more, check out the newly released book by Yoder (pulled together by others), “The End of Sacrifice”.
• Speaking of the death penalty, my friend Matt Puckett is on death row for a crime we believe he did not commit.  His case is fraught with problems and he should never have been convicted.  The Mississippi Supreme Court has set his date of execution for March 20th.  There are still a few things we can do: First, sign & share this petition;  Second, please take the time to write Mississippi governor and plead for his life.
