Rapide Pensée

Just the other day, I went into LifeWay Christian book store, which is a rare thing for me. Those kinds of places tend to frustrate me with their phoniness. Anyway, I went in to find a biography on either William Carey, Hudson Taylor, C.T. Studd, or John Wesley. I couldn't find any. When I asked the guy (probably about my age) if they carried any famous missionary biographies, he zealously brought me biographies on Tony Dungy, Sarah Palin, and Jerry Falwell... Really, really, really not what I was looking for. Like, really. No offense Tony (get it?!?!?), but I don't think you're yet on the same level as the greatest doctrinal thinker since the apostle Paul. I was just in shock that the heroes of the faith have been replaced by pop-stars. Tisk Tisk, LifeWay.

Love,
Steve
