"My last review on page 51 talked about how the book is packing too much information into a dense format, making it challenging to understand all the various data structures and methods of R. I was tempted to go back and re-read the first 51 pages, so I really understand how R works. But instead I pressed on.
The next ten pages (51-61) give more examples of how to use R, and it's getting easier to understand." — Feb 14, 2024 02:20PM

“The typical assumption of most books on church and ministry — even those written more recently in the missional church field — is the idea that the church’s job is to grow. A healthy church is a church that grows bigger. My argument is that this assumption is built not on the gospel but on the American narrative.”

“Luther and Calvin believed that both the Roman church on the right and the Zwinglian and Anabaptist churches on the left made the Lord's Supper too much a place WHERE BELIEVERS DID THINGS FOR GOD - either by offering Christ to God (Rome) or by offering their deep devotion to God (the Radical Protestants). The main direction of the Supper, in both of these views, was up.”
