Dizmas – Dizmas

Mike | February 15, 2010

It wasn’t payday this weekend, so I’m going back into my music archive to pull out an older album of mine. Dizmas’s self-titled album “Dizmas” was one of the first Christian music purchases I ever made. Up to that point, I was alright with listening to all Christian music, but I wasn’t excited.

Seabird – Rocks Into Rivers

Mike | February 8, 2010

This is my first Christian music review. I bought Seabird’s “Rocks into Rivers” from my local Christian bookstore after listening to a preview of a few tracks on iTunes.

I enjoyed the conference speakers quite a bit, but I didn’t sleep very well the night before, so I almost fell asleep during a couple of the afternoon [...]

The End of Reason

Mike | April 2, 2009

Ravi Zacharias is one of my favorite Christian authors & speakers. He has some extremely thought-provoking insights and at the same time he can be very humorous. "The End of Reason" was written as a direct response to Letter to a Christian Nation, by Sam Harris, a militant atheist.
I haven’t read "Letter to a Christian [...]
