MERE CHURCHIANITY by MICHAEL SPENCER
Not long ago, we lost a major Christian voice that many people had never heard of. Michael Spencer, THE INTERNET MONK died of cancer (I believe - you can check the site) far too soon.
I read his blog irregularly, and was blessed every single time. He was quirky, principled, sometimes angry, and always fully committed to Jesus Christ as Lord of his life…..a good man.
His book, titled as above, is going to be published in June, but you can DOWNLOAD A SNEAK PEEK HERE. I highly recommend that you do this, although along with being blessed by Michael Spencer’s writing, you are going to feel a lingering sadness that such a voice is no longer with us.
Of course, if you like what you read and are blessed, you can always GO TO THE ARCHIVES at The Internet Monk and have a look around. I suspect that you may get hooked….. The tragedy is that you will no longer have the pleasure of interacting with Michael, a unique voice who is, and will continue to be, sorely missed.
But…....we *will* meet again.

HOW DOES FRANCIS SCHAEFFER RELATE TO THE MARINES?
Perhaps only that his grandson became one…...
Francis Schaeffer wrote a LOT OF BOOKS about modern culture and a Christian worldview, including THE GOD WHO IS THERE. He was a missionary to Switzerland, and established L’ABRI FELLOWSHIP, which still operates study centers around the world.
His son, Frank Schaeffer, was the youngest child and only boy, with three older sisters who appeared to join the parents in spoiling him pretty thoroughly.
UPDATE: You would do well to read SCHAEFFER’S OTHER BOOKS about military service - for those who serve, as well as for those on the home front. Most of us, in the days of the volunteer military, are seriously out of touch with what it’s like for those on whom we depend for our liberty. The least we owe them is awareness.

AYAAN HIRSI ALI IS A DEFINING HERO FOR THE 21st CENTURY
AYAAN HIRSI ALI is under sentence of death by radical Islamists, the same ones who murdered THEO VAN GOGH, the Dutch film director who made the movie SUBMISSION from Ayaan’s script.
