Sacred Treasure
- Doug McElvey has a superb poem on weakness, over at the Rabbit Room: As Weak
- Chris Green: Why you should choose heroes who disagree – very helpful
- Tim Challies: 8 ways Satan tempts you to doubt Christian security
- The Christ-like Gaze in Film – fascinating from Brett McCracken
- A surprising place to find an interesting perspective: The Church Times’ Madeleine Davies on Why I’m still an Evangelical in the age of Trump
- This shows significant integrity – I wonder how many authors out there (in any sphere) would be big enough to do this for a book they’d previously written – Josh Harris’s statement on I Kissed Dating Goodbye
Mourning Eugene Peterson
One of my heroes died just a few days ago. What a man, what a writer, what a life. Here are a few related links
- The moving obit in Christianity Today
- Jonathan Rogers gives thanks for Peterson’s influence as a writer
- A few days before he died, Tim Neufeld wrote this lovely piece on why Eugene Peterson was so significant for U2 and Bono in particular.
- My son and I just happened to be at the 1st of 2 nights that U2 were playing in London last week, and so it was especially moving to hear Bono dedicate the closing song to Eugene’s memory

Quirky Treasure
- If you want evidence that people act, and spend, irrationally, check this out: the IKEA effect
- Bonkers: Free climbing El Capitan in the USA
- Disraeli’s definition of an agreeable person – who can disagree?
- These fake book covers are nicely subversive
- Astonishing details from Extreme Close-ups of Butterfly wings
- Then from the micro to the macro – ever wondered what it is like to find yourself inside the eye of a hurricane…
- Take moon walking footage, add Benny Hill music = result:
