The last few days, I’ve been toying with a reference book idea. A dictionary of Bible cities, towns, and villages. Written for Bible students and Bible class teachers. When you come to a place you don’t recognize, you could look up the entry and learn its location (or scholars’ best guess), where else it appears in the Bible, historical and archaeological details, and why the place matters in the biblical story.
Is this something that you’d find interesting enough to buy? I’m only gauging interest. But please share your thoughts.
The work would be in the 500-700 pages range and probably retail for around 40-50 USD.
The cover is only a mock up.

3/4 I've learned that forgiveness is real and consequences are real, and neither cancels the other. That's what my new book, Nevertheless, is about.

This week's bonus episode of The Long Obedience tells that story. If you're living with what forgiveness didn't fix, I hope it helps.

This is the first book I've written that I really didn't want to write.
Nevertheless: Living Faithfully with What Forgiveness Doesn't Fix. For the Christian who's been forgiven and is still living with the consequences.

What. In. Hell. ……
Episcopal priestess says Mary assigned Jesus male at birth, but he was trans. And when he was resurrected, he came back as His true, transgender self.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Before his birth, during his life, & after Jesus rose, he was always referred to as a male.
Gabriel tells Mary she will bear a son & to name him Jesus (Luke 1:31–32).
Woman, behold your son
(John 19:26)
He said to them…
as he was teaching…
(John 20).

credit to oregon and dan lanning, usually he waits for the playoff to have this bad of a loss.
Faith isn't the absence of doubt. Faith is what keeps you talking to God even when you're not sure he's listening. New Salt & Light Lab on Psalm 13 and the silence of God. #Scripture #Faith #BibleStudy start2finish.substack.com/p/…

When a man repents quickly, specifically, and authentically, it changes the entire atmosphere of a home. It teaches your kids that strength and humility aren't opposites. #BiblicalManhood #ChristianFather #Repentance
