"I Love Tools"

I have always worked with wood. I love the smell of wood being worked … I love to walk around my workshop fondling some favorite tools. I am especially fond of old tools like the hundred and twelve year old hand plane given to me by Istwan Kovac who made and used it to create many furniture pieces in Hungary

But, I also like new tools. I like the Internet and some of the tools it puts at your disposal.

Think about it! It’s like walking into my workshop and finding among my tools portals to mounds of information.

For instance, the amazing number of wonderful books available … books that can be found on web sites like: http://www.christianbooksummaries.com/, or http://www.bible.org/.

Here are a few titles found on Christian Book Summaries:

Practical Theology for Women: How knowing God Makes a Difference in Our Daily Lives, by Wendy Horger Alsu.
"A better understanding of God’s character, that is, theology, makes me a better wife … when we ladies grow in our understanding
of God’s character and attributes, it can only be a blessing for our homes, our marriages, our churches."

The God-Centered Life, by Josh Moody
"The life and ministry of Jonathan Edwards can inspire us to greater faithfulness, whether or His passions for the gospel and the spread of the kingdom of God have a great deal to teach us in the twenty-first century."

You Were Made for More, by Jim Cymbala with Dean Merrill
"There is a unique assignment God has gifted you for and is calling you to accomplish. When you identify it, roll up your sleeves,
and get started, you will begin to tap into more influence, more energy, and more satisfaction than you ever believed possible."

Fight: Are You Willing to Pick a Fight with the Enemy? by Kenny Luck.
"God's archenemy, Satan, is engaged in a final battle for planet Earth. His focus is on causing those to fall who stand firmest for what is right and good. Victory awaits those willing to stand and fight, surrender to God, and place themselves under His protection."

Real Christianity, by William Wilberforce
"When William Wilberforce became a Christian in 1785, his calling became laser focused on rousing believers to understand the true nature of faith, and bringing about the end of slavery in the British colonies. A dozen years after his conversion he articulated his views in this book."

And, these are just a few of the hundreds of titles available. So, go ahead stroll through a few new tools.

Happy Surfing,
Paul Weresch
