Robert Andrew Powell - This Love Is Not For Cowards: Salvation and Soccer in Ciudad Juárez

Very interesting book so far... about the soccer team in Juarez, but more so about the people of the city and how they cope with living in one of the most dangerous places in the world.

Recently finished Tom Wolfe's latest novel, Back to Blood. It had some moments, but it wasn't as good as I Am Charlotte Simmons or The Bonfire of the Vanities.

Also, I recently read The Christian Life: A Doctrinal Introduction by Sinclair Ferguson and would highly recommend it. One part that was especially good was his discussion of the meaning of the witness of the Spirit in Romans 8:16, which reads "The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God."

From what little I've heard or read of the verse over the years, I've thought of the witness of the Spirit in terms of a subjective feeling of assurance, or a lack of this feeling. In the following discussion of the passage, Ferguson though indicates that the verse is best interpreted in terms of observing the Spirit's active witness in our lives as we respond to His leading:

"Often it [the witness of the Spirit] has been interpreted as a mystical inner voice which speaks comfort and assurance to the believer. By others it is understood as referring to the testimony of Scripture in which alone the Spirit of God speaks to man. It seems best to understand Paul to mean that this co-witness of the Spirit appears in our experience of the other evidences of sonship, namely mortification of the sin which would displease our Father, and application to his Fatherly care in times of need. In these very experiences, Paul is saying, the Spirit is actively confirming us in our sense of sonship."

I just finished reading The World's Strongest Librarian by Josh Hanagarne
Click on the title to read my review. Fantastic book and I learned about the Mormon religion - I now have a favorite story from the book of Mormon, Tourette's and a bit about weight lifting.
