The illistrations and writing was done by a extended family member. The ideas didn't bother me as I was raised when you wring a chickens neck but some children would probably not understand. Alduts would enjoy it. Chris is a very nice man and encourages others to pursue thier career in art.

His writing is a joy to read. You are there observing history so close you feel it. The Wright family comes to life with its joys, triumphs, perseverance, trials and sorrow. McCollough is the best historical writer of our times.

In all fairness, there is nothing "wrong" with this item.  I use it as part of a dust collection system in my shop.  It's just that there is nothing to make it warrant five stars.

I recently noted an interview with N.T. Wright by my friend Tripp Fuller. One of the subjects covered in the interview was Wright's new book After You Believe: Why Christian Character Matters. Explaining the hope he had in writing the book, Wright mentioned a possible titled included "Virtue." There was some concern it would not "sell." Imagine living in the 21st Century and "virtue" not selling.

Even if someone may not buy a book on virtue, nearly everyone should be concerned about character. The matter runs to the root of what kind of person we choose to be. Too often we get confused about "doing the right thing." Asking someone to "do the right" thing without addressing  the aim of personhood and what kind of person you or I would want to be seems a bit wrong headed - to borrow a Wrightism.  I am reminded of C.S. Lewis' essay, "The Abolition of Man." There in that classic essay Lewis notes how insufferable it is to remove the framework for making moral decisions and then asking a person then to be moral. He write something like, ". . . then bid the gelding to produce."

Wright, for me, runs along the same track Dallas Willard has been running on. When the question is about deciding to do right, we are managing our impulses. When we determine what kind of person we will be then we choose according to that aim. One tends to begin at the point of behavior. The other emphasizes living out a way of life that is constructive and formative in keeping with the personal decision to be this kind of person or that kind of person.

It is no secret that I like Bishop Tom. We have shared a meal, a conference, and a plane - public not private. He is affable and memorable. He has determined to be a kind of person that flows from his understanding of the grand project of redemption of all things in Jesus. That aim is born out not only in his writing but in his person. Go get it. Read it. Let it inspire you to move from managing impulses to charting a course for what your lie may look like as it reflects the life of Jesus.

This review is in response to my participation in The Ooze Viral Blogger project for After You Believe. I did receive the book for review. However, I would have bought the book and reviewed it had all the books been handed out for the project.

Excellent, well-written and a balanced historical biography containing sufficient detail about the Wright Brothers that is either less well known or often unknown.

I like the way they ended this on a good note for a change and not a disastrous one for humanity.

N.T. Wright is, of course, an exponent of the "new perspective" on Paul.  As one whose Christian faith is pretty deeply rooted in the "old" perspective, I approach Wright (known in my son's excellent Christian school as "N.T. Wrong") with some skepticism.  He is, however, a believing Christian who has rescued Paul from the distortions of liberal scholars such as A.N. Wilson.  His thought is not a product of that odd mix of circular reasoning and psychological projection that has passed for "higher" Biblical criticism in the West for 200 years.  I am happy to report that this lay commentary can be read by an old perspectivist with pleasure and gratitude.  Wright reopened my eyes and heart to two aspects of Romans that can too easily be forgotten by one steeped in the traditional reading:  first, Romans is about how God's covenant with Israel is fulfilled and extended to all the peoples of the world by the death and resurrection of Christ the Messiah; second, Paul not only instructs us to be grateful for God's free grace in dealing with our sin through Christ, but also exhorts us to lead changed lives through the power of the Spirit.  The traditional reader's "blessed assurance" can too easily become complacency, and one resting in justification by faith can too easily neglect the call, and the power, to turn from sin.  I am not saying that Wright has converted me to the new perspective.  I can't read Paul's text and believe that he is not talking about how an individual gets right with God, while at the same time explicating how the Gentiles can be admitted to the true "Israel".  Indeed, I come away from Romans marvelling at how these two themes are harmonious and intertwined, two sides of the same proverbial coin.  However, notwithstanding Wright, I am quite sure that the most important message of Romans is that our sin is imputed to Christ, and his righteousness to us, through God's free grace and our faith, whether we are Jew or Gentile.  By wrongly insisting that the Greek word usually translated "righteousness" instead be translated as "covenant faithfulness" or "covenant justice" or some other "covenant" compound, he deprives Romans of its central message, which is aimed at the individual heart.  This is a great error, one that directs a reader away from the true meaning of Romans, and potentially away from saving faith.  Wright is unconvincing in other respects as well; the idea that the "I" in Romans 7 (unlike the "I" in Romans 6 and 8) is not Paul, but Israel, ignores both the text of Romans 7 itself and the seamless bridge it forms between chapters 6 and 8.  In sum, Wright is well worth reading, but with this and all his books, the old adage applies with force:  Take the best, leave the rest.

N.T. Wright wrote about something that, I must admit, I didn't see as deficient in Western churches.

In How God Became King, Mr. Wright unveils what the four gospels collectively say: in and through Jesus, God became King of the world.

His argument is that many people have forgotten this story and decided to rely on the church creeds of antiquity. As I said, I have never ran into this problem. For the churches that I've been part of, it's always been about Jesus and the Kingdom of God that he inaugurated.

Having said that, this is still Wright directly on target. His books never fail to connect with me.

Like his previous book, Simply Jesus, this one reads like a slimmed-down version of his longer books from the past. (see Christian Origins and the History of God books) He actually says the same thing he's been saying for the past few books.

You'll read four parts in how we need to readjust the volume of the four points found within the story of the gospels: The Climactic Story of Israel, The Story of Jesus as the Story of Israel's God, The Launching of God's Renewed People and the Clash of the Kingdoms.

Wright explains that the church has lowered some levels and raised other levels to the point where we don't recognize the themes. He claims we're simply a group of Christians who read the Bible as God providing a way for us to escape this wicked world.

But the Gospels are much much more.

Classic Wright with his typical lines, "There isn't enough space to write about that here" and "see this other book that I've read to continue with the idea".

One can never go wrong with Wright.

Deepened my understanding of just what the Wright brothers did and who they were.
As always, McCullough is a good read.

I could go on and say a lot of things about this hammer. But to be honest there is nothing special about it. However the thing that stands out to me is that there is nothing wrong with it. That is why I use this hammer.
