Highly Recommended

Hi all,
Wanted to share a couple of things that I've enjoyed this week. IF anyone's in NYC in the next 10 days or so, head up to Columbus Circle to the Museum of Biblical Art and see the exhibit there on the prodigal son. Really powerful. Works from medieval tapestries to modern sculpture and an incredible collage of the prodigal son story set in Texas. Worth a trip.

Also, the book Unchristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity, by Barna Group president David Kinnaman & Gabe Lyons is really enlightening (or at least the first 2/3, which I have read, is). I think all Christians would benefit from reading this and reflecting on the authors' exhortation to repent of ways we each contribute to denigrating or muddying Jesus' core message of love. Thought-provoking. Ultimately encouraging.
