Listened to the Canon Ploos audiobook for the new edition. Great stuff.

I enjoyed this book. I am reminded that language is like a toolbox. You don't use a hammer to sand down an old chair. You use a hammer to nail something. Likewise, we do not use sarcasm to build up little children. We use sarcasm to tear down the idols of modernity. Sort of like the way Elijah did with the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:27).
