The Tabloid Bible: You Won’t Believe This Bible!


by

When traveling in Ireland recently, I came across a Bible unlike any other I've ever seen: the Tabloid Bible. I spent a few glorious minutes laughing out loud and being stared at for it in a quaint bookstore in Dublin while reading it. The whole Tabloid Bible is, true to its title, in tabloid style. British tabloid style, to be clear. I've tried to find 'official' inside pics, but apparently, they don't exist (either that or Google wasn't able to find them, which would surprise me). That means ... Read More

‘One Minute Mentoring’ by Blanchard and Diaz-Ortiz [Saturday Morning Review]


by

Ken Blanchard needs little introduction, as the author of numerous bestselling business books. He's one of the business gurus who had dominated the business and leadership market. Countless managers, executives, and leaders of all stripes and sizes have benefited from his wisdom. Claire Diaz-Ortiz, however, is one of the millennial generation's burgeoning leaders. I have personally found two of her books to be incredibly helpful and heartily recommend them. With that, let's get to the book, One ... Read More

Books by Claire Diaz-Ortiz [Saturday Morning Review]


by

I hate making New Year's Resolutions, mostly because I never seem to keep them. So, when I needed to teach a class on how to make and keep New Year's Resolutions, I realized that I had a lot of research to do in a short period of time. Immediately, I turned to my research assistant (i.e. Google) and began looking for some information. That was when I was reminded of Claire Díaz-Ortiz. Claire is a writer with quite the resume that includes running a non-profit for an African orphanage and being ... Read More

‘Assassination Generation’ by Dave Grossman [Saturday Morning Review]


by

When I came across Assassination Generation in the library, I figured it would be an interesting, if maybe somewhat controversial read. After all, the subtitle of this book is ‘Video Games, Aggression, and the Psychology of Killing’. I hadn’t expected it to be so disturbing. This book rattled me to my core. Dave Grossman, the author of this book, is not a ‘media specialist’ or something similarly vague, like all-too-many authors of articles and books on the effects of video games on children. ...

‘Simplify Your Spiritual Life’ by Don Whitney [Saturday Morning Review]


by

These past few months have been for me all about simplifying. I got rid of all the clothes, books, stationary, and to-dos I didn’t really needed and just kept the essentials. This whole process has been very eye opening. You really don’t realize how much stuff you really own until you move… or simply empty out your closets. The modernization of our world has given us an endless amount of possibilities in every aspect of our lives. We must be very thankful for that, but also very careful. We can ... Read More

About Your New Years Reading List [Podcast #139]


by

This week on the podcast, Jeremy wasn't able to join the podcast at the last minute, so somehow Eric and Phil stumbled into a topic – happened to record it – and they called it the 139th ChurchMag Podcast. As haphazardly as this may have come together, the results were great. In the end, we get some great insights and thoughts from one of ChurchMag's most avid readers. ... Read More

NIV Bible for Teen Girls and Guys [Saturday Morning Review]


by

Every year, new Bibles are being released. Not all of them are an improvement, to put it mildly, and some of these are downright embarrassing. That's not the case with two new NIV editions from Zondervan: The NIV Bible for Teen Guys and the NIV Bible for Girls, Journal Edition. Both of these really offer something extra that will speak to teens. ... Read More
