Also, because the investment is much less in a 6-page piece than in a 300-page novel, I can also see if that writer's block is because of me not identifying how to move forward or if the block is because the idea is flawed to begin with. If I need to throw out an essay it will not be the end of my book.

The other thing I do is I don't put pressure on myself. I write because I enjoy the process. If the process is not flowing then I'll wait until the ideas come.(less)

It attempts to tell Shakespeare’s story while commenting on the work and how the piece is viewed by the general population. There are not many pieces of literature that are required reading in school, so that changes the entire feel of the play (for those who stayed awake during Junior English).(less)

For a political/economic book written in 1850, it is amazing that the principles still hold today. It is this type of longevity that gives weight to the ideas of freedom and personal property that Bastiat presents. Don’t let the date of writing or th ...more

Did a reread of Yancy’s classic, remembering the impact it had on me as a younger man. This book is still very powerful, getting us to try and see Jesus more like His contemporaries would have viewed Him. This helps greatly going through the Gospels ...more

A unique look at time management using Jesus as our example. The bottom line, like in most books like this, is to set priorities for the most important things and then say no to all the rest. Easy concept but very difficult to pull off. This book is ...more

This is one of those books that should probably be a pamphlet. Though I greatly enjoyed Cosper’s podcast The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, some of the episodes got off track and didn’t really move the story along. However, the episodes were intriguing ...more
