I’ve read some great stuff over the last few weeks. Here are a few blog posts that I really liked…
Grand Theft Auto 5 made $1 billion dollars in three days. Half the universe is playing this game. Wanna know what it’s all about? A couple youth workers played it for a few minutes in order to review it for a parent resource website. Warning, it review is NOT for the faint of heart.

A friend recommended this post to me in response to a piece I wrote about guys not leading girls in our culture. It’s pretty strong. I’d love to know what you think:

I already posted about Malcolm Gladwell’s new book David and Goliath. Here’s the post if you missed it.

And, if you missed it, here’s an interview with Gladwell about how writing this book drew him back into faith.
I’m halfway through this book and loving it. Bill Bryson is one of my favorite authors. If you haven’t read him you need to get on it. For real. Go get one of his books right now…
