(09/21/06) I got this excellent Bible after trying out several translations in cheap hard back prints to see which translation I enjoyed reading best before outlaying significant cash on a leather-bound copy. I settled on the NIV because it is a good translation and I am learning Koine Greek so if I want a really literal translation I am able to go to the Greek and obtain a really "wooden" translation. Lord willing my translation skills will improve. Anyway, this edition is wonderful. As others have mentioned the single column text is wonderful for reading as is the print. The print is just large enough to be very comfortable but a tad larger would have been better; I'm sure that is almost always the case. The paper, binding quality, etc are all top notch. The leather though is not quite what I expected. It does say "calfskin leather" but it isn't supple at all. The calfskin NASB is very supple and almost moohs at you it is so soft but this leather is very stiff. I've already been using it daily...See less

(11/21/06) We are at our human best when we give and forgive. But we live in a world in which it makes little sense to do either one. In our increasingly graceless culture, where can we find the motivation to give? And how do we learn to forgive when forgiving seems counterintuitive or even futile? A deeply personal yet profoundly thoughtful book, Free of Charge explores these questions--and the further questions to which they give rise--in light of God's generosity and Christ's sacrifice for us. Miroslav Volf draws from popular culture as well as from a wealth of literary and theological sources, weaving his rich reflections around the sturdy frame of Paul's vision of God's grace and Martin Luther's interpretation of that vision. Blending the best of theology and spirituality, he encourages us to echo in our own lives God's generous giving and forgiving. A fresh examination of two practices at the heart of the Christian faith--giving and forgiving--the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lenten study...See less

(09/08/06) Welcome back to high school. Is it different? In some schools the pecking order hasn't changed, only the names; in others ranking is gone, but clique boundaries are even more rigid. From the lunchroom to the prom, students are obsessed with who sits together, who goes together, what people are wearing and driving. But in addition new kinds of relationships, anxieties, and conflicts have emerged. Both these old and the new features of teen culture shape our children in ways that are more fundamental than the content of the curriculum. Murray Milner revisits the most character-shaping status system we ever encounter, showing how it works and why-and how it is also shaping our entire consumer society. Freaks, Geeks, and Cool Kids argues that the teenage behaviors that annoy adults do not arise from "hormones," bad parenting, poor teaching, or "the media," but from adolescents' lack of power over the central features of their lives: they must attend school; they have no control...See less
