two and a half years ago, when zondervan bought youth specialties, we announced it with this goofy little video. so, i got a great kick out of seeing this new video of lucas leys, our spanish director. actually, lucas just got a promotion: he’s now the vp of spanish ministries for ys, as well as [...]
Jesus Wants to Save Christians, by Rob Bell and Don Golden, (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2008), $19.99 (224 pages). I thoroughly enjoy the creative material that comes out of Rob Bell’s grace-filled and artistic brain. Even when I disagree with him, there is no denying he is tapping into a deep well of truth and riding the wave of a new movement of the Holy Spirit which the church, especially in America,...
this is an extremely cool opportunity for the right people. but i have to be a little bit cryptic on the details here on my blog. here’s the scoop: i’m working with zondervan on a cool project, and we need to find a few people to be involved in an RV road trip (for a very interesting cause). specifically, we’re looking for a youth worker couple (husband/wife would be ideal) who are at least in their...
I thought they’d never end (and I’m glad they are over). The first kids baseball team I coached; John Raymond was the assistant and was at Trinity Seminary at the time (July 1986). He’s now with Zondervan. Lukas was about 6 years old, and the only kid on the team who could catch a baseball, [...]

At the new Koinonia blog by Zondervan John Walton has an article titled Hermeneutics and Children's Curriculum that dovetails nicely with my last post on reading the bible for God's purposes instead of our own. I agree with him that...
On Zondervan's new academic blog, Koinonia , OT professor John Walton identifies "five basic fallacies that appear repeatedly" in teaching material for children. These five include, 1. Promotion of the trivial 2. Illegitimate extrapolation 3. Reading between the lines 4. Missing important nuance 5. Focus on people rather than God In his conclusion, he argues, If we are negligent of sound hermeneutics...
ElShaddai Edwards at He Is Sufficient notes some recent changes in the layout of the Bible section of his local Christian bookstore. It sounds like (we can’t be sure) the store has started using Zondervan’s Total Bible Solution 2.0 materials, an industry-wide merchandising system introduced in February 2008. Bookstores using TBS can choose to arrange their [...]
If you haven't clicked over to the Zondervan blog to read Chuck Colson's extended reply to Kazim, by all means do so. It's really quite something, a rhetorical mishmash chock full of logical fallacies, false premises, and poor argument structure. One of Christianity's bestselling apologists mounts some of the most amateurish defenses of the faith I've ever seen. Quite often — no doubt used to
Is the Greene Litigiousness Virus making the rounds lately? Here's another dimwit only too eager to don Patrick's crazy hat and leap into the fray.A Canton man is suing Zondervan Publishing and a Tennessee-based publisher, claiming their versions of the Bible that refer to homosexuality as a sin violate his constitutional rights and have caused him emotional pain and mental instability.Well, I'll

It's a good intermediate-level overview of the Biblical perspective of the afterlife and some related issues. There are some relevant subjects that aren't addressed much or at all, such as near-death experiences and Purgatory (for more on...
