What Will You Study in 2011?

I have begun to give consideration to the direction of this blog as we approach 2011.

We're honored to have earned a Google Page Rank of 4, we have made new friends from all over the world, nearly 300,000 people have journeyed through the Boomer in the Pew doors, and it has been great fun learning and having great dialog together.

I'm fairly certain that you have noticed that the entirety of this year's journey has been blogging my way chronologically through the whole of the Bible.

Frankly, this has resulted in a rather dramatic decline in our traffic.  But, I didn't embark on this journey for the glory of large traffic numbers, I sincerely desire to know God more.

So, what about you?  What do you plan to study in 2011?

We are Celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary

More than one of you have inquired as to my whereabouts over the past few days. 

Please forgive me.

You see, I have whisked my bride to the Caribbean Islands for a very romantic 25th wedding anniversary vacation.

I thought, silly me, that I would be able to keep up with my daily posts here, as well as my daily posts for our The Roaming Boomers on-line travel magazine.

I was wrong! 

Actually, I probably wouldn't have a 26th wedding anniversary if I sat in my room all day creating posts for our Internet properties.

So, I'll be back.  I am keeping up on my daily chronological journey through the Bible, but I will not be making my normal postings until we return.

OK?  Forgive me?

More Than A Skeleton by Paul L. Maier

I just finished reading More Than a Skeleton, by Dr. Paul L. Maier. This is my second Maier novel, the first being A Skeleton in God's Closet.

Both of these books read like a good Grisham novel.  Both center around the church, and have been called by some "theological thrillers".

"When Joshua Ben-Yosef, an Israeli from Galilee --- born in Nazareth to parents Mary and Joseph --- begins assembling 12 followers, attracting crowds and performing miracles, the world takes notice. Could Dr. Melvin Merton have been correct about the imminent return of Christ? It seems everyone is a believer in this "Messiah," including Weber's wife, Shannon --- especially when Joshua performs the "ultimate sign" by raising his disciple from the dead. Plagued by skepticism, Weber may be the only one who can intervene before the very foundations of the Christian faith are shattered."

These novels are very easy reading, yet will force you to contemplate your own belief system when you peer at Christianity's potential undoing in both of these novels.

Both would make great summer reading, and I highly recommend them both.

Up next, I am going to read Maier's historical novels The Flames of Rome (about Nero), and Pontius Pilate.

I'm looking forward to them both.
