Review for Keep Christianity Weird by Michael Frost

I received this book for free in place of my honest review on it from Tyndale.

So, here goes!

Okay, I learned a lot from this book. I did. I just can't explain it exactly.
Like, I should know words to use to explain it, but I don't.
It was a great fast read, I enjoyed it a lot, and I learned that I was one of those people who keep Christianity weird. Yep. I'm weird.
But that's a compliment, I love being called weird! Lol
So I wanted to put these questions up, and I was wondering if any of you could answer one or two of em. You don't obviously have too, but I tried to answer them myself after I read them, and I was wondering if anyone could come up with a better answer than me :)

Question #1
Who are some historical (or contemporary) people you particularly admire? Why? What, if anything, is eccentric about those people?

Question #2
Where do you fall on a spectrum of conventional to crazy?
How do you feel you fit in to this vision of the Christian faith? Why?

Question #3
What was the zaniest thing you've ever seen a church do? What did you think of it then? What do you think of it now?

Question #4
What's one thing you can start doing to embrace the discipline of being different? What can you and your friends start doing to help keep Christianity Weird?

All till next time! :)

    It is weird to say you trust and believe in something you can't see! But that's what makes us who we are...Christians.
    Zaniest thing I ever saw....a large group of people all calling out to God for a miraculous healing. Even zanier...the person was healed!!
    I want to read this book to see what zany weird Christian stories there are!

    For me I know its not historical but I always admired Steve Jobs for his innovative ideas and outlook on life.
    Zaniest thing was probably seeing a mass with 17 Bishops and they were blessing the state of Pennsylvania so that was cool.
    To keep Christianity weird I should just keep doing what I am doing because I think I am making it weird already :)

Review of When Through Deep Waters

Image
I just finished reviewing this book and I have to say, it was fabulous!! Tyndale House Publishing are the ones who I went through to review it. They  are awesome! Anywho, onto the book! I have never read anything like it before, but I loved it. I was skeptical at first, but it turned out great! There was intrigue, mystery, heartache, and sweet dreams,etc etc. Alicen was a troubled woman who was overcoming a lot of things, and I think that Rachelle Dekker wrote the story well. The words and sentences to me matched up with Life After by Katie Ganshert. Which is a book I love! So good job Rachelle!! The only thing I didn't like about it was that there was too much death. The first death was necessary for the story, but I didn't like the second death. The back cover: "Alicen McCaffrey finally has the life her mother always dreamed for her: beautiful home in Santa Monica, successful husband, adorable daughter. Then tragedy blows her carefully assembled façade to p...

Losing someone you love

Now, many people have lost someone they love, I lost my grandpa right before Christmas.  I was devastated, but there wasn't anything I could do. My brain told me it was coming when he was sent to stay in the hospital, yet my heart had hope.  I really wanted to be able to see him again, it will happen one day in Heaven, but not earth. A few weeks before he was hospitalized (hope its spelled right)  I was talking to him on the phone, he was telling me how I used sit on his lap, he'd scratch my back, and I'd beg him to take me to Buddy Freddie's, I love that place, and still would had it not closed down. I have one last memory of going there on my sixth birthday before we moved.  From Florida to Texas, quite a distance by car. See, everytime we would talk, he would ask me the same threw questions, he was joking around but they were real, I won't give out this questions because I don't want to, but I wish I could've said yes one of those times he asked but I...

Goat post!

Okay, so I want to write this post about our new goats! We have 10 goats now! Orginally 5 but 3 gave birth. The mama's are- Reese, Sophie, and Natasha. I will post a picture of each baby and tell you the name and gender and mother. Plus a few little details about them.  Have fun!! This baby is Cocoa. Her mama is Reese. My sister got this picture and unfortunately this is the best one! Lol, she did not want to pose for a picture! She was born on the 6th. She is so cute, big and playful! So so sweet! She had a twin sister, Matilda, unfortunately she didn't make it as we (my parents) weren't there to pull her out. This is Stevie and Joey. Twins from Sophie. Born the 11th. And super cute and playful! Joey! (and parts of Sophie) He is the big brother all the way! Always there for Stevie, and so sweet and funny! Everything that his little sister does, he has to do! Whether it's yawn, stretch, or get up and play. Stevie! Isn't she ad...
