About Me

"The Jon Stewart of the theological world." ..

My Interests

The smell of books. Put your nose up to an old novel and thumb through it. Great smell.

I'd like to meet:

with less disappointment. It's usually a let down after you meet someone you really wanted to meet, so keep my heroes away from me.

Music:

Anything with dancing street gangs.

Movies:

More voiceover, please. I love movies with voiceovers. It's like watching a good book, without all that reading.

Television:

You have to catch this standup show called "Bananas," which is mocked by cynical personality types. Oddly, I am a cynical personality type, too. But I still like to see kids happy. Also, "Thou Shalt Laugh" comedy DVD series.

Books:

First read the Gospel of John. (Its the fourth book in the New Testament.) Then read "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis. Then read "Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller. Then read "The Irresistible Revolution" by Shane Claiborne. And if youre still not following Jesus afterward, then read some Charles Gradison Finney. He is an evangelist from the late 1800s who was heavily influenced by philosopher Immanuel Kant, but bearing that in mind, he will annihilate you, so beware.

Heroes:

Shane Claiborne (pending a personal introduction) who lives in Philly's inner city because he wants to. Read his book "The Irresistible Revolution."
