New Book

I just picked up a new book called "The Blue Parakeet" by Scot McKnight, a New Testament Bible scholar. the premise of the book is to answer the question: "How are we to live out the Bible today?" McKnight's goal is to reshape how we read and interpret the Bible, being sure to steer clear of too conservative and too liberal interpretations of Scripture, hoping to land somewhere in the middle. We will see (i am only 40 or so pages in).

Thus far, the book is very good. Though i do not think i will agree with everything he will say (i have read some of his stuff previous and he can be a little sketchy at times), i love how he words things. He has a way of bringing you to those "aha" moments. McKnight will definitely make you think. This book will stretch you, possibly aggravate you, and also encourage you all at the same time.
I recommend it to anyone who desires to have a deeper understanding of how we can apply Biblical principles in today's culture.
