I was fairly disturbed at this article about Joel Osteen and his book, discussing the upcoming Time magazine cover story. I happen to be of the opinion that we come to God because we are desparately needy for redemption from our sins, not for our financial needs. What do y’all think?

By the way, be sure to check out other links in the CFBA on the right. There are many links to Taylor Field’s new book Squat. Some have interviews with him, others give their personal reviews. Of course, you can check out the Squat website here.

Today is the start of the blog tour for the book Squat. This looks like a fascinating book. It is written by Taylor Field, a pastor in inner city New York. He heads up the Graffiti Community Ministries, which is an outreach to the homeless community in NYC.
This is key, because Squat is 24 hours in the life of Squid, an obsessive-compulsive homeless kid who struggles for acceptance. The premise sound very interesting, and with Field’s experience, he knows of which he talks about.
Unfortunately, I was a little late in registering for this tour of duty, so I did not get to read Squat ahead of time. It is definitely on my “must check out” list. However, I do happen to have, via the magic of the internet, a handy-dandy review link here for you.
I also invite you to check out the Squat website for more information. One of the great things about this book is that “all author proceeds from Squat will go to Graffiti Community Ministries, Inc., a service arm of the East Seventh Street Baptist Church on the Lower East Side of Manhattan where Field preaches.” Now if you wondered about enjoying a fine read but felt guilty about spending a few bucks, your conscience is clear!
“We live in a squat. We don’t know squat. We don’t have squat. We don’t do squat. We don’t give a squat. People say we’re not worth squat.”

Over the next couple of weeks there will be a lot going on here (pending Blogger not crashing anytime soon…).
Tomorrow will be the next Christian Fiction Blog Alliance tour.
Next week there will be the latest installment of the Christian Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog Tour.
I am planning on starting a little series out of Francis Schaeffer’s Art and the Bible.
And…by the time all that is done, the CFBA should be due again!
Stay tuned!
