GLIMPSES OF THE DEVIL (A PSYCHIATRIST'S PERSONAL ACCOUNTS of POSSESSION, EXORCISM, and REDEMPTION) by M. Scott Peck, M. D.

Finished three reading items on my recent trip:

1) Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer by C.S. Lewis
2) "New Perspectives on Paul" by N.T. Wright
3) "Women’s Service in the Church: The Biblical Basis" by N.T. Wright

I found all three to be quite interesting. Lewis is always outstanding. Wright's #2 article is intriguing, but I think he makes some dubious pleading in #3.

Just finished What Saint Paul Really Said and The Last Word by NT Wright. Still going through The Resurrection of the Son of God by, you guessed it, Bishop Wright!

hee hee ... "lost" ... ahem ... i mean ... yes, of COURSE you "lost" it ...

... it definitely wasn't spirited away by shadowy, fashionable elements within your kingdom, or anything like that ...

... why would you think such a thing?

Did you do anything on your trip other than read?

Not if I could avoid it. If only those pesky interviewers hadn't kept interrupting!

I don't think we need to forget PnP's t-shirt needs. Let's support both ministries.

I think it more important to direct benevolent givings to PnP's tobacco supply fund...
