That we step together…perspectives should be shared.
Let’s see if this works for you…

The Carpenter made no promise any position in the Kingdom.

Eternal Darkness is a physical reality.

The Resurrection is of spirit, not of body.

Miracles do not support spiritual life.

The existence of God is provable.

Belief is what you say. Faith is why you said it. Religion is what you do about it.

I can easily go on.

Can you follow?

Book of Robert

I don’t remember how I first stumbled onto Internet Monk, but what kept me coming back and reading was the fact that you pull no punches on the hard matters - depression, faith, suicide, sexual temptation, sola fide - where doctrine and life collide head-on at 75 mph. The sort of things that don’t get talked on (or preached on) nearly enough anymore.

So my top 10 (and there would be many, many more) would be…

Sex in Dangerous Places
The Boat in the Backyard
I Hate Theology (A MUST HAVE)
On Christless Preaching
When I am Weak
I Have My Doubts
Wretched Urgency I/II
Yo Ho A Papist’s Life for Me?
Running Wounded
Throw Luther From the Train
(OK there’s more)
A Prayer for Alex

I pray the Lord stirs up a publisher to accept this challenge. I won’t hold my breath to see it next to LaHaye and Jenkins at the front rack of the Family Jesus Junk stores, but it will be comforting to know that someone, somewhere, will still publish the good stuff.

The Last Gasps of Literate Christianity
My Final Visit To A Christian Bookstore
Why The Show Must Not Go On
Leave Your Seat, Leave Your Sin
Christianity: Silly or Serious?
Why Do They Hate Us?
In Love With Jesus?
A Slow Drive Over The Edge
Sex in Dangerous Places

I really like the stuff you write about the Christian market, especially the music, as well as the stuff about crazy Pentecostals. I love the Purpose-Driven stuff, but I’m not sure that is book material at this point. Somehow I think if the general consumer-mindset issue were dealt with, the seeker-sensitive problem will just work itself out.

I say that as if a hundred million people will want to buy a book that tells them something other than what they want to hear. Maybe if you put a crossword puzzle in there, it will get some preorders. You could even have some sort of clever wordplay going on with “crossword” (I demand royalties if that idea is used).

I would definitely include the articles on today’s issues - such as the one I have just read, “Losing the Moral ABCs”. Keep up the good work, we need you!

1. Dr. Strange Liturgy (a truly wonderful work)
2. The Public Invitation series
3. Why Calvinism is Cool.
4. Perseverance: That Most Neglected Doctrine
5. When I Am Weak (excellent)
6. On Christless Preaching
7. A Path Through Those Thorny TULIPS
8. (here’s a controversial one) Yo Ho Ho A Papist’s Life for Me?
9. Those Know-Nothing Evangelicals.
10. I Am Not a Conservative Christian.
11. Politics East of Eden.
12. Sex in Dangerous Places (A truly fine article about this issue)
13. How We Sound to Those Who Don’t Believe

If I come up with some more, I’ll let you know. I truly look forward to an iMonk book, and I’d recommend it to all of my Christian friends.

Wretched Urgency (1 & 2)
Why Do They Hate Us?
Talk Hard
A Conversation in God’s Kitchen
Running Wounded
The Boat in the Backyard
I Have My Doubts
Dr. Strangeliturgy

I think I understand where you’re coming from. I’ve never read PDL all the way, I just skimmed through to get an idea of how it read, and by then the iMonk had already turned me against it When I said I didn’t think the PD stuff didn’t need to be in his book, I really wasn’t taking other people’s perspectives into account. When you said most people don’t know they can question the book, that really struck a nerve with me. I always looked at people as though they were just ignorant, but in retrospect, there is definitely a stigma that goes with not being PD. Maybe the iMonk does need to address it in his book.
