The 5 Best Things in Christian Fiction Right Now
I've been pretty darn hard on Christian fiction and Christian art in general, and I stand by what I've said. However, I cannot and will not say that everything in Christian fiction is terrible--far from it! But I haven't given much attention to the good things, and that's not fair. So to make up for … Continue reading The 5 Best Things in Christian Fiction Right Now
5 Types of Bad Christian Writers
If that title offended you, have a seat and let's talk. Christians have been making lousy books, movies, and more for decades. Yes, yes, yes, some good, even great pieces have come out and I could easily recommend some. But the bad ones are still being made. We're still making bottom-of-the-barrel films that deserve their … Continue reading 5 Types of Bad Christian Writers
5 Times the Movie Was Better Than the Book
Before you throw your pitchforks and hand grenades, I'm just as shocked by the title as you are. Books are almost always better than the movie because...well, Hollywood. But every now and then, a movie comes along that actually makes up for the faults of a book, and here we have five shining examples of … Continue reading 5 Times the Movie Was Better Than the Book
Top 5 Video Games I Really Wanted to Like
5. Remember Me Remember Me is set in a world where memories can be perfectly recorded, shared, and stored forever. This leads to a dystopian future with zombie-like creatures prowling the streets. Why? Because Capcom has lost their marbles, that's why. The world is convoluted, yet surprisingly empty, the plot is told more than shown, the … Continue reading Top 5 Video Games I Really Wanted to Like
Top 5 Things Wrong With Christian Music, Movies, and Books
It's that time of year when Christians ruin Christmas carols by adding in a bridge that completely clashes with the rest of the song, adds nothing of any real value, and basically tries to spice up linguistic gourmet with lyrical pop tarts. Seriously, how do you screw up "Joy to the World?" And who would … Continue reading Top 5 Things Wrong With Christian Music, Movies, and Books
10 Badass Bible Moments (Part 2)
5. Jericho loses to the Marching Band (Joshua 6) Here's another story most Christians know: Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. But have you ever stopped and thought about just how jaw-dropping this moment is? Jericho is a mighty city with high walls that are all shut up so no one goes in or out. … Continue reading 10 Badass Bible Moments (Part 2)
5 Anime I REALLY Wanted to Like
It's bad enough when a movie or TV show sucks. It's worse, in a way, when they should be awesome. Spider-Man 3 had Venom. Heroes got a second season. Final Fantasy XIII had amazing graphics. And yet, every one of them pretty much bombed. I think most of us really wanted to like one of these things … Continue reading 5 Anime I REALLY Wanted to Like

You know, eating can be dangerous! I've eaten a pretty darn good amount of food in my day (and the day before and the day before) and I've seen just how much damage can come from our favorite past time. So, for fun, I collected five and listed them out here. Enjoy! Or die, either … Continue reading 5 Worst Food Injuries
Top 5 Things I Love/HATE about E-Books
I've done a lot of strictly sermon-like posts lately, and this blog is more than just that, so I thought I'd do a list instead. Being a writer, I'm also a reader. On top of that, I'm a bit of a tech dork--I don't have every newfangled invention, but i want 'em all, whether they're … Continue reading Top 5 Things I Love/HATE about E-Books
