• Wednesday WHY ??? - Intellectually Disciplined, Fact-Based Refutation of Recent "New Atheist" Bestsellers

  Dinesh D'Souza's "What's So Great About Christianity" is an intellectually disciplined, fact-based refutation of recent "New Atheist" bestsellers including Christopher Hitchens' "God Is Not Great," Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion," and Sam Harris' "Letter to a Christian Nation." The great advantage that D'Souza's book holds over its opponents': while New Atheist bestsellers rely for their power on sarcasm, insult, contempt, and arrogance, D'Souza's book relies on facts, logic and research.

• Wednesday - WHY ??
  Isn't the Bible historically unreliable and regressive?
  - a response by Timothy Keller

  This is a great message about the Scriptures and some common objections to them. It's about 38 minutes long and worth listening to. (…)

• Listen to Theresa Dalton and Ann Strubler on
  CD Baby Website

  Last September, we had a wonderful time in a recording studio.  Theresa sang many of her original songs and Ann Strubler a dear friend and violinist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra came, adding some violin to many of those songs.   We finally have the CD in hand from those recordings.

  A Christmas Letter Tribute to Marion Dalton

  "I Remember Mama" was a television program that was popular when I was a child and this year I thought I would mark the first anniversary of my mother, Marion Dalton's death on December 25th, Christmas Day 2006 with some remembrances of her life. (…)

• Theresa Dalton and Ann Strubler
  these two ladies make beautiful music together

  We had a wonderful time a few weeks ago in a recording studio.  Theresa sang many of her original songs and later, Ann Strubler a dear friend and violinist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra came, adding some violin to many of those songs.   Out of that, we plan to soon have a CD of Theresa's songs available.  I think it's going to be a real gem.  She also did a traditional folk song "Shenandoah"  which we will not include on the coming CD.   
  Here is the song for you to hear.  ENJOY ! (…)

• I never read her Dracula books but her novel;
  Christ the Lord - out of Egypt
  is a worthwhile read

  This is a very interesting interview from the White Horse Inn, with Ann Rice an nationally known author and newly found woman of faith with interesting insights into the Biblical text.  She had a powerful conversion and has dedicated her writing skills to higher purpose.    In this interview she has much to say about supposed modern scholarship around the scriptural material and text.

• Rosie O'Donnell, Barbara Walters and a flashback of
  Gilda Radner's Impression of Baba Wawa

  Fun is fun, but Rosie O'Donnell isn't funny anymore.   I never was a big fan of Rosie, but she's in the news again this week with comments from her book about Barbara Walters.   She's not too flattering or complementary toward her former colleague and boss on the View; a daytime women's coffee clutch aired on ABC.  She basically is saying Barbara Walters is too old and should give up her life in broadcasting.

• Recommended Book - Treasures and Lessons
  on Pastoral Ministry from the Historic Church

  This is a must read for those in any Pastoral Ministry:
   
   
  In today's Church, there often appears to be a conflict between those who are doctrinally strong and those who "care about people." Thomas Oden does an excellent service by showing that a Christian (especially a Pastor or Pastoral Counselor) can and should use the resources of the Christian tradition as a tool of compassionate ministry.

• Peter Kreeft - Pro-Life Philosophy

  The subject of abortion in the United States is an emotionally charged one, and most often fought on the level of  platitudes and placards.  Whether pro-abortion or anti-abortion, I think we would all do well to get beyond the bumper stickers and the insulting signs, and enter into reasonable discussion regarding this personal, public and political issue.  
  Peter Kreeft does a good job of presenting a pro-life / anti-abortion philosophy with a very reasoned and thought out approach.  As a young voter (1972) I remember voting in a Michigan referendum  regarding the legalization of abortion, although Michigan citizens voted against its legalization, the Supreme Court (1973) a few months later, legalized abortion nationwide apart from wide public discourse or political consensus.  In this talk, he will discuss the ethical issues aside from religious considerations. 
  I think listening to this presentation would be time well spent.
