Happy Birthday Joel Vestal! I’m so happy for him to have such a blessed in the basement time 🙂 There aren’t many chances that I’ve in being part of the process of printing a book and also to see how the final touch up looked like. Further more even before reading the book actually knowing…

The Last Word and the Word after that
Finally, I got the final book of the New Kind of Christian trilogy by Brian McLaren … in fact it was the only copy I could get after calling one of the managers at the bookstore. Apparently, there were only two copies brought in (to test the market?) but when Gareth and I arrived there…

An Evening with Brian McLaren Interesting to read how an old friend comments on an old friend 🙂 Fresh Expresssions who said the Anglicans and Methodists are an archaic bunch? Looking forward to see what they put up in the resources section. Kingdom Rain Might check out some of the sermons and articles to see…
Margin
here’s a review of the older edition I kind of introduced this concept of “Margin” coined by Richard A. Swenson in my message yesterday at the worship gathering. Frankly, I was very much aware that I too needed to heed the call to watch how my life get’s overloaded in all areas. The fact is…
Blogs that get me thinking
Here are some blogs not from Malaysians that’s giving me some “space” and “content” to (1) widen my horizons (2) deepen my own thoughts.

Tonight, it was good to catch up with old friends. Good “Margin” for what’s important. I feel really humbled to day when a pastor friend came…

When Christians Quit Church Interesting that Charisma Magazine finally is picking up this topic … an interesting quote here (which I agree is also true in my personal conversations & observations with friends in Pentecostal & Charismatic churches in general): “Jamieson also identified four main reasons why people leave a church–cultural preferences, personal factors such…
Constants in Context
Constants in Context: ways of perceiving culture in mission gives a glimpse of the contents in the book. I’ve found Steven Bevans’ book Models of Contextual Theology to be very helpful – I tend to get linked through authors not just the topics. It’s a personal thing 🙂 Anway, building on some of the directions…
