O Me of Little Faith

For those of you who are interested in such things, here’s the back cover copy for O Me of Little Faith: ————- True Confessions I am a Christian. I have been a Christian for most of my life. But there are times—an uncomfortable frequency of times, to be honest—when I’m not entirely sure I believe…

Maybe I’m naive, but I really didn’t expect yesterday’s questions to get as theological as they got in yesterday’s Ask Jason Any Question extravaganza. I was prepared to answer a lot of questions about writing. Or breakdancing. Where were the breakdancing questions? But you guys are smart. You’re interested in theology and Christianity and faith…

I know a lot of you are aspiring writers, so every once in awhile I like to dedicate a blog post to answering writer-type questions. Instead of pre-selecting the questions, though, I figured we’d just do this one on the fly. Ask me questions today in the comments, and I’ll do my best to reply…

Look, it’s a snow day here in Amarillo, and I’m feeling lazy. So this is a re-post of an old book review, but there’s a reason behind it. 1. Jesus, Interrupted was one of my favorite books I read in 2009. I was given a review copy by HarperOne in exchange for blogging about it…

Yesterday I posted Part 1 of an interview with Tyler Merrick, the founder of Project 7, a for-profit company which donates half of what it makes to organizations working in seven distinct areas of need: Heal the Sick, Save the Earth, House the Homeless, Feed the Hungry, Help Those in Need, Build the Future, and…

I want to introduce you to a unique and relatively new company called Project 7, which sells consumer products (bottled water, gum, mints) — available nationwide in places like Caribou Coffee — and donates 50% of its profits to non-profit organizations. It sells stuff so it can do good. Project 7 was founded just two…

The following is a random list of things that have played a role in who I am today. I’m listing them, without explanation, in no particular order. Some are good influences. Some are not. (You’ll have to guess which is which.) • My grandmother’s vintage Scrabble board game • Actively attending church from as far…

Yesterday I asked you to list your first job, your current job, and your dream job in which money was no object. Your answers were fascinating. Thank you to all of you who participated. A lot of you — I counted 16 — listed something like be a writer, write books, become a published author,…

Time for some bloggy interaction. It’s easy. Today I want you to answer the following three questions. That’s all. 1. What was your first job? 2. What is your job/career now? 3. If you could be doing anything else with your life — money’s not an issue — what would it be and why? I’ll…

Michael Spencer (the Internet Monk) has been a web friend for several years. I’ve been inspired, comforted, and challenged by his blogging since running across his work — along with the Boars Head Tavern — back in 2004 or so. Which is Mesozoic in Web years. Michael was kind enough to endorse Pocket Guide to…
