What Books Would You Burn?


Let's forget about the silly pastor in Florida who wants to burn the Koran. He has had enough publicity for acting like an idiot.

I am not in favour of burning books. It brings to mind Farenheit 451 and all that. However this crazy thing with the burning Koran has me thinking. If we would want to burn the Koran because it is evil - what other books would you burn?

Here is a list for starters in no particular order*:

Purpose Driven Life
Your Best Life Now
The Prayer of Jabez


*I am not really going to burn these books. I just think they are terrible. Truly terrible. Really, really bad.

Lutheranism 101


Below is a link to the new Lutheranism 101 blog. Lutheranism 101 is new book being published by Concordia Publishing House and I was honoured to have been asked to contribute a chapter. The link below goes to the Lutheranism 101 blog which has information about the book as well as some helpful information about Lutheranism. It is a great place to go if you are curious about what Lutherans believe.
