Rob Bell talks here about his new book, “Jesus wants to save Christians,” to be released in October 2008.
If you haven’t ever read “Velvet Elvis” or “Sex God,” you should check them out.
This new one sounds great…
I’m going to whip out a batch of Homebrew later today. It’s a recipe that I got from one of Papazian’s books a few days ago.
Dark Sleep Stout.
Yum.
…much heavier, richer and more bittersweet than a Guinness style of dry stout. It is akin to putting a fancy liqueur in your expresso…[It] is extremely rich and creamy-a sipping stout that does extremely well with age.
Do we have the resolve? Do we have the heart?
God, May we have the resolve and the heart to love you in the least and the lowest…
Doesn’t Darth Vader (Hillary) throw the Emperor (Bill) to his demise at the end of the movie and find reconciliation with Luke (Barack)? That probably would have been a little over the top…
*Just for the record. I do NOT think Hillary and Bill Clinton are evil in the ways that darth vader and the emperor are evil. I just think the video is pretty hilarious and ingenious…

Check out this Wilco concert from NPR’s “All Songs Considered” Concert Archive.
It’s pretty amazing. I listen to alot of the free content on their website and this is one of the best I’ve heard.
Just click where it says “Hear the Complete Wilco Concert” and it will pull up the NPR Player.
I’m going to be starting a series of posts titled “Deconstructing U.S. History” which will follow my reading of Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. I’ve already gone through the first couple of chapters and it’s rocking my face off.
He tells the history of America from the margins.
He tells the story from the perspective of those on the bottom of power…not on top.
He doesn’t exclude the voices of the oppressed and run over, but makes them the locus of the storytelling.
I think that it’s going to be a real eye opener for us all. If you haven’t read it before then check back as we go through this important book.
First we’ll start in 1492 with Christopher Columbus. And without spoiling it, let me just tell you that it’s gonna be a doozy of a first chapter.
We’ll start on Monday and take one chapter or so each monday after that…
This is a blog. I picked the name “Way of the Revolution” because I think it’s catchy and because I’m a follower of Jesus who thinks that the way of Jesus is the way of a non-violent revolution of love and hope. Find out about me by clicking on the “About Jon” tab at the top of the page.
I’m not gonna waste either of our time trying to sell you on the future content of this blog. Just read it for awhile and see if you like what you find.
If you do, keep checking back.
If you don’t, delete the link and forget it even exists.
